4-Ingredient Homemade Cookie Butter

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UVM chapter.

You’ve probably heard of Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter, but now, you can make your own with whatever cookie you want! If you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, or even if you do, this recipe is a must-try! It only contains four ingredients, and you get to crush cookies and show those crumbs what you’re made of: brute strength and love for cookie butter.

You can make these with Oreos, graham crackers, Girl Scout Cookies, or any other cookie you can think of! I chose Chips Ahoy! because they’re nice and crumbly, which is ideal for the cookie butter so it’s not too mushy. This recipe only takes 5 minutes, and you can eat it by the spoonful. What more could you want in a recipe?

Instructions

    In a medium sized bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, heavy cream, sugar, and melted butter until consistent. (For a thinner texture, add cream. For a crunchier texture, add more crumbs)

    #SpoonTip: A crispier cookie will be easier to smash into crumbs than a softer cookie.

    Scoop your cookie butter into an airtight container, like a mason jar or tupperware.

I've made a name for myself as the maker of birthday cakes among my friends and people tell me I remind them of their respective moms because all I watch is Food Network, HGTV, and Criminal Minds.
