OMG! I have discovered Cookie Butter

Whoever invented this heavenly delight - should be sainted - knighted - something.
What am I talking about - cookie butter????? Yes - COOKIE BUTTER!!!!


The first ingredient is cookies - Speculoos cookies - which are fabulous all by themsleves. Then magic happens and they are turned into cookie butter. Which has a similar consistency as peanut butter.

When I saw the photo I had to use it as that's how most of the cookie butter in my jar has disappeared. By the spoonful. Mmmmmm.

I love this stuff.  So what actually is cookie butter - here's a recipe I got from the Betty Crocker site

Ingredients 2 packages (8.8 oz each) decorative caramelized biscuit cookies- Speculoos 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 5 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon molasses 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup water Directions  In large food processor, process cookies into fine crumbs. Turn off processor. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla; process until blended. Continue to process while adding molasses and oil through spout.  With processor running, add just enough water so mixture becomes a creamy consistency (you might not use all the water). Add more water as needed until you reach desired texture (it should be about the same as peanut butter).  Pour cookie butter into airtight container; seal. Store in refrigerator.

If you're wondering what the heck you can do with a jar of sweet butter. Aside from simply eating it by the spoonful, there are a number of recipes that incorporate cookie butter, including milkshakes and cheesecakes online. Do a search and enjoy for fabulousness.

There was a question at one site - Is Cookie Butter the new Nutella? My answer is
YES
