Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Butter Ingredients

  • 8 oz Gingersnap Cookies (preferably Lotus Biscoff)
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including gingersnap cookies, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt ensuring measurements are accurate for best results.
  2. Blend the Mixture: Combine all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until a smooth, creamy paste forms. Monitor the texture carefully and add more milk if necessary to achieve a spreadable consistency similar to nut butter—but avoid making it too runny.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, gradually add small amounts of milk while blending until it reaches your preferred spreadability.
  4. Serve or Store: Once the cookie butter reaches the desired smoothness, enjoy it immediately as a spread or dip. Alternatively, transfer it into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

  • Choose Lotus Biscoff cookies for an authentic, caramelized flavor or use other gingersnap cookies as preferred.
  • The amount of milk may vary depending on the cookie type; add gradually for best texture control.
  • Store leftover cookie butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • This cookie butter can be used as a spread on bread, an addition to desserts, or stirred into yogurt or oatmeal.
