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.

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!

- 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)
- 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.

can’t wait to try this cookie butter recipe! never thought to use a blender instead of food process or mixer. love it!
Looks amazing! My kids LOVE home made shakes and smoothies, this would be welcome in my kitchen!
love it
This recipe looks delicious, i cant imagine how many other amazing things can be made with the blender.
I would love this blender. I’ve actually been wanting one for years now but they are a little out of our price range. With two wonderful kids I would definitely be making this Oreo and creme butter and a ton of smoothies to stay somewhat healthy from making all these delicious recipes.
I have a passion for cooking. I make everything from baby food, and my own dog food, to all manner of sauces, dressings, soups, healthy shakes and drinks. It’s the center of my families life to take care of ourselves with good food and the treats we make at home. Homemade versions of cookie butters are part of our dessert category. Not only is this a wonderful recipe, (I just tried it) but I have been eyeing this blender for a while. With a heavy sigh I have resigned myself to wait a bit until it’s in the budget. I would be a happy home chef if it was in my kitchen. I’ll cross my fingers for a contest win. ;)
I need this for my kitchen! I’d first try your recipe above because I am a huge sucker for oreo’s, and then I’d try to make some new pudding pie recipes. I bet that mixes up a mean pudding/cookie mix.
I cannot wait to try this cookie butter! My sons will go nuts over it!! :)
I surly would love to win this… I need a new blender…Thanks for the chance to inter in…
I could use a blender that doesn’t bind up when I try making smoothies. Thanks.
