What is Cookie Butter?

If you’ve never had cookie butter, then you’re missing out! It’s basically like peanut butter or any other spread, but it’s made with fine bits of cookie. Yum!

I consider it (especially this cookies and cream butter) like Nutella. It’s creamy, sweet, delicious, and easy to spread onto breads, but also works as a dip.

Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week!

What to Eat with Cookie Butter

I absolutely love serving this cookie butter with graham crackers. The sweetness matches the flavor perfectly. Everyone in the room will devour it (so keep it hidden if you want it all for yourself). I’m not opposed to eating it by the spoonful either.

But you could also serve it with cookies (yes, more cookies!), or mix a spoonful into your bowl of ice cream. But don’t feel limited with this stuff. Try it on everything! Waffles and pancakes, fruit, toast, pretzels, churros, brownies. So much to try!

Make this cookie butter ASAP and get to dipping. You won’t regret making it because it’s so easy and delicious. Yum!

Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIE SIDE

• ▢ 15 Oreo cookies 170 grams
• ▢ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 25 grams
• ▢ ¼ cup heavy cream 57 grams

FOR THE CREAM SIDE

• ▢ ¼ cup unsalted butter 57 grams, room temperature (½ stick)
• ▢ ¼ cup vegetable shortening 46 grams, such as Crisco (¼ stick)
• ▢ 1¾ cups powdered sugar 198 grams
• ▢ 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams

Recommended Equipment

• Kitchen Scale (optional)
• High Powered Blender (click for my favorite)
• Hand Mixer (optional)
• Stand Mixer (optional)

Instructions

FOR THE COOKIE SIDE

• Place the cookies in your Blendtec blender and mix on "chop" for about 10 seconds or until completely chopped and fine. (I used the Twister Jar for making this cookie butter. It is so nice to use the twister lid to get the cookies back into the middle while mixing. LOVE!)
  15 Oreo cookies
• Pour the vegetable oil and cream into the jar and blend on "mix" or medium-high until a batter like consistency forms. Set aside.
  ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

FOR THE CREAM SIDE

• In a small bowl using a handheld or stand mixer beat the butter and shortening together on high until creamy using the paddle attachment, about 1 minute.
  ¼ cup unsalted butter, ¼ cup vegetable shortening
• Turn off the mixer and add the sugar and vanilla. Beat on low-medium for about one minute until well combined and super creamy. It will be pretty thick.
  1¾ cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

ASSEMBLY

• In a jar or bowl, fill the cream side first. Since it's thicker, its easier to do this side first. When I put the cream into the mason jar, I used a spoon and stuck the cream to the side of the jar until one side was filled.
• Pour or spoon the cookie filling into the other side.
• Serve atop toast or as a dip with cookies.
