It’s no surprise I love Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter. {proof}
It’s amazing.
It’s magical.
It’s cookies…in spreadable I-can-eat-this-for-breakfast-because-it’s-like-peanut-butter form.
So I do that. I spread it on english muffins, then top it with sliced bananas, and a drizzle of honey.
I basically substitute any sort of peanut butter with cookie butter. My kids ask for it, and I say no.
“It’s for grown-ups.” I tell them.
It’s not. It’s for everyone.
But I need to conserve.
It’s human nature.
But I do share every once in awhile.
Like when I made these Chocolate Cookie Butter Cups. I couldn’t possibly eat all 30 of them by myself.
Maybe only 25.
A girl has to watch her figure ya know.
These are exactly like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, only instead of that out-dated peanut butter filling, it’s packed with a creamy and luscious cookie butter center.
Simply put- these are phenomenal!
Can’t find a Trader Joe’s near you??

Mmmmm, love cookie butter….
Megan
You are officially my favorite blogger…ever. YUM!
Shawn
well you are officially my new favorite reader 😉 Thanks Megan, you are too sweet!
Megan
By the way, I’m allergic to coconut, so we’re going to make it using something similar next week. Definitely going to let you know how it turns out.
Shawn
You can use vegetable oil instead of coconut oil, both work well. Can’t wait to hear!

I’ve been kicking the PB off my shelves to make room for cookie butter all this month too, only I’ve been making it from scratch (because when you get to the point where you’re actually spending more on store-bought CB than you are on, say, actual food in any given month…it probably means priorities need to be shuffled around. I prioritized by getting a food processor). These cups are next on my list, thanks so much for sharing!
Valentina
in a word — brilliant! 🙂
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
AMAZING!!! I have been thinking about doing with this Biscoff Spread (tastes the same as Cookie Butter), so glad it works out!
I tell my son certain foods are only for grown ups too 🙂
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel
mmmmmmm!!!! I need to try this.
Veronica M.
I have found Biscoff spread at Walmart. I just love eating it by the spoonful, but will have to try these little gems! Thanks for sharing!
Shawn
Sweet! Thanks for the tip Veronica! 🙂
carrian

Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
Wow Shawn! These are soooo cool. Cookie Butter and me, we’re reeeealllly good friends.
Shawn
Oh my gosh! We could all be like BFF’s -and ever! 🙂
Jessica@AKitchenAddiction
These would be so dangerous to have around by myself!
Gerry @ Foodness Gracious
Way easier to score than Biscoff and just as good if not better? Send me 24 right now…and keep one for yourself 🙂
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
OMG, Shawn! These are incredible. I loooove cookie butter–like you said, it’s awesome on everything! I definitely need some of these cups–yeah, 25 works–in my life.
Elizabeth
I’ve never heard of cookie butter. Where can I find it? It looks yummy 🙂
Shawn
Hi Elizabeth, yes it’s incredible. This Cookie Butter is sold at Trader Joe’s. {I’ll put a link in the post where you can order some off Amazon}. But Cookie Butter is made from Biscoff cookies, so you could also purchase Biscoff spread (but I am not sure which grocery store sells this)
kelley {mountain mama cooks}
Yes, please!! I have some cookie butter in the fridge and now I know what I’m going to do with it! 🙂
