    I am in love with cookie butter. What is cookie butter? Cookie butter is “A deliciously unusual spread reminiscent of gingerbread and made with crushed biscuits” which is one of the greatest inventions ever.  It is as good as Nutella, some days I think it’s even better.  Not only can you make use of it as a spread for bread, but it’s especially good as a dip for apples!

    As I was taking pictures of the cookies, I was thinking of other ways to use this recipe to make other flavor cookies.  All you need to do is change the 1 cup of cookie butter to, 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of Nutella, or 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter.  I’m thinking any spread that has the texture of peanut butter will work very well for this recipe.  If you do try it, let me know in the comments how it works out for you!

    Tips and Tricks for Making These Cookie Butter Cookies: 

    • For an extra sweet aroma, add a tablespoon of vanilla extract to cookie dough.
    • If you don’t have parchment paper or nonstick cookie sheet, brush your cookie sheet with melted butter to prevent the cookies from sticking.
    • Serve these with vanilla ice cream! It takes your Cookie Butter cookies experience to a higher level.
    • If you have chilled cookie butter, let it stay at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for easier mixing.
    • You can add dark chocolate chips to the dough! Imagine the cookie butter and chocolate chips together!

    How to Make these Cookie Butter Cookies:

    Ingredients that you will need:

    • egg
    • granulated sugar
    • cookie butter

    Preheat oven to 350F, grease cookie sheets.

    For the cookie butter, I specifically used the one from Trader Joe’s Speculoos:

      I made these but they came out kind of wet and soggy in the middle of the cookie. What did I do wrong? Please respond.

        And also they also spread really thin and the fork marks didn’t show. I also think that maybe you should make the recipe with less sugar because it’s reallyy sweet.

          HI Grace,

          Sometimes oven temperature varies, for me it only took 8 minutes to bake, however for your oven it might take longer.
