What is Cookie Butter?
Cookie butter is a spread made from ground-up cookies, usually of the speculoos variety, which are a type of spiced shortbread cookie. It has a rich, creamy texture and a deep, caramelized flavor that is reminiscent of both cookies and caramel. It’s often compared to peanut butter, but with a distinct cookie flavor.
Cookie butter can be found at many grocery stores, either in the spreads aisle or in the international section. It’s also available online. If you can’t find cookie butter, you can try using another type of flavored spread, such as Nutella or peanut butter, although the flavor will be different. The cookie butter I used for this recipe is Biscoff.
