dirt cake cookie
Another Crumbl Cookie dupe—with a spooky twist! Let’s make the Dirt Cake Cookie, a perfect treat for Halloween. This soft, fudgy chocolate cookie is coated in cookies & cream crumbs, topped with a rich chocolate frosting, a sprinkle of extra cookie crumbs, and finished with a classic gummy worm. This makes 1 big cookie or 2 regular ones.

As a newbie to the world of food, my goal is simple: to have fun with every creation. I believe that the best food is made at home with love.
dirt cake cookie
ingredients:
2 tbsp (28g) softened butter
4 tbsp (50g) brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
1.5 tbsp (10g) cocoa powder
4 tbsp (30g) all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp (0.6g) baking soda
2 cookies and cream cookies (about 20g)
6 tbsp (90ml) heavy whipping cream
4 tbsp (40g) chocolate chips
instructions:
Mix Butter and Sugar: Mix the softened butter with the sugar until homogenous.
Add Vanilla and Egg Yolk: Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk, mixing again until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, flour, and baking soda, then mix to form a dough.
Fold in Crushed Cookies: Crush some Oreo or cookies and cream pieces and loosely add to the dough.
Shape and Bake: Shape the dough into 1 large cookie or 2 regular-sized cookies. Bake at:
325°F/160°C in an air fryer
or
350°F/175°C in an oven
for about 11 minutes. Use a circle mold to fix the shape into a perfect circle if needed. Let the cookie cool completely.
Make the Ganache Frosting: Melt 4 tbsp of heavy cream with 4 tbsp of chocolate in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Let it cool slightly, then add the remaining 2 tbsp of cream and whisk over an ice bowl until stiff peaks form. (this took me 3-5 minutes, so use an electric mixer if you want)
Pipe and Top: Transfer the ganache into a piping bag and swirl it onto the cooled cookie. Add crushed Oreo pieces, then finish with a gummy worm on top for a spooky touch!
