Cookie butter originated in Europe and is traditionally made with speculoos cookies that are made during the Christmas holiday season. This cookie is made with a special spice blend and similar to gingersnap cookies.

It has been popular in Europe for many years but started reaching popularity in America recently thanks to Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter. Luckily, we can make this tasty treat very easily at home with a variety of cookies.

Cookie Butter Cookies Recipe

Cookie butter has a rich, sweet, and creamy flavor. It typically tastes like a combination of spiced cookies, caramel, and a hint of nuttiness. The flavor can vary slightly depending on the brand, but overall, it has a distinct and delicious taste reminiscent of cookies.

Take it Slow: To ensure that you get the perfect creamy texture, make sure to add additional milk in very slowly. I suggest using the amount of milk the recipe calls for and blend everything together.

After that if the butter is still too thick, then add additional milk 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

Healthy Cookie Butter (vegan, Gluten Free)

Cookie Options: I suggest using Lotus Biscoff cookies (speculoos cookies) or a generic gingersnap cookie. This will give you the classic Trader Joe’s cookie butter taste.

You can find these cookies at most big grocery stores. If you cannot find this brand you can also use a generic brand of gingersnap or molasses cookies.Of course you could use virtually any cookie to make this recipe if you cannot find one of those.

Obviously, using a different cookie will yield a different flavor but there are endless tasty cookie options to explore. Some other great cookies to try are:

Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

It is really simple to make and has loads of great uses. This is one of my guilty pleasures and I always try to hide it in the back of the fridge to keep it all to myself.

Store leftover cookie butter in an airtight storage container like a mason jar, or tupperware. While store bought butters can be stored at room temperature I find that this recipe keeps best in the fridge.

When stored in the fridge it will stay good for 1-2 weeks, but it will also get firm. You can remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature before using, or spread it over something warm like toast and it will soften up.

Easy Cookie Butter Truffles

You can also freeze the cookie butter for up to 3 months. You can store it in freezer bags, an airtight container or my favorite way is in an ice cube tray.

With the ice cube tray method you can pop out a single serving and not defrost the entire thing. Let the cookie butter come to room temperature before eating, or add frozen into a smoothie.

Yes, Biscoff is a brand of cookie that is often used to make cookie butter. Biscoff cookies, also known as speculoos cookies, have a distinct flavor that combines spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. When the cookies are ground into a paste, it is commonly referred to as Biscoff or speculoos cookie butter. So, Biscoff can be considered a type of cookie butter, but there are other brands and variations available as well.

Cookie Butter Blondies

Yes, there are different types of cookie butter available. While Biscoff (speculoos) cookie butter is the most popular, other brands and variations exist. Some may use different types of cookies as a base, such as chocolate cookies or shortbread cookies.

Cookie Suggestions: My favorite cookies to use are speculoos or Lotus Biscoff cookies. These cookies work perfectly and I recommend using them if you can find them. If you cannot find them you can use any gingersnap or molasses cookie.

You may need to add a bit more milk or adjust the spices to your personal taste. I like to start out with the recipe above, blend, then adjust if needed. Depending on the cookie you use you may need a bit more or less milk.

Cookie Butter was not always available here in the U.S. It was invented by Els Scheppers, a contestant on a Belgian television show called The Inventors. Friends would usually have to ask people to send it over from there. They didn’t even know how to make it at home yet. It started appearing on the shelves about 3 years ago. Luckily today we can just make it at home and save the extra cash.

This recipe is insanely easy that my husband can even make it (and he can’t cook anything..)! All it requires is blending all the ingredients in a food processor and within 5 minutes you are left with a jar of delicious cookie butter.
