Crumbl Copycat Recipe: Dirt Cake Cookie
This Dirt Cake Cookie is pure nostalgia — rich chocolate, creamy pudding-style frosting, Oreo “soil,” and a playful gummy worm. It’s kid-fun meets bakery elegance.
🧈 Ingredients
Cookie Base
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
Chocolate Pudding Frosting
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp instant chocolate pudding mix
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
½ cup crushed Oreos
1–2 gummy worms per cookie
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter and sugars until smooth; add eggs and vanilla.
Whisk cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt; mix into wet ingredients until thick.
Scoop large cookies and flatten slightly. Bake 10–12 minutes. Cool completely.
For frosting, beat butter and pudding mix together; add milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Frost each cookie generously, then top with crushed Oreos and a gummy worm.
💡 Pro Tips
Chill dough 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
Use real pudding mix — not cooked pudding — to get that creamy stability.
Press Oreo crumbs while frosting is still tacky so they adhere well.
