Cookie Butter
Cookie butter is a delicious spread made from speculoos cookies, known for their distinctive caramel and spice flavors. The cookies are crushed and blended with vegetable oils, flour, and sugar to create a smooth, creamy, and irresistibly sweet spread. Its texture is similar to peanut butter, but its flavor is much more complex, boasting warm notes of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom. Cookie butter has a light brown color, making it easily distinguishable from other spreads, and its unique taste makes it a versatile ingredient for adding a sweet, spiced touch to many dishes.
Common Uses
- Use cookie butter as a delightful spread on toast, waffles, or pancakes for a comforting and flavorful breakfast or snack. It adds a unique spiced sweetness that complements the warmth of the bread.
- Incorporate cookie butter into homemade ice cream or milkshakes for a rich, spiced caramel flavor. It blends well and adds a creamy texture and distinctive cookie taste.
- Use cookie butter as a filling for pastries, cakes, or cookies to create a delicious and unexpected flavor profile. It pairs well with other dessert flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or fruit.
- Drizzle melted cookie butter over desserts like brownies, blondies, or fruit salads for an extra layer of sweetness and spiced flavor. The warm, smooth drizzle adds a decadent touch.
- Stir cookie butter into your morning oatmeal or yogurt for a flavorful and creamy addition. It provides a boost of sweetness and spiced flavor that makes breakfast more enjoyable.

Storage Tips
Cookie butter should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. An unopened jar can be kept at room temperature until the expiration date. Once opened, it's best to store it in the refrigerator to maintain its texture and prevent spoilage, though this may cause it to harden slightly. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to preserve freshness and prevent the spread of flavors to other items in the refrigerator. It can also be stored in the pantry if you prefer to use it at room temperature.
