Ingredients You’ll Need
- 8 oz biscoff cookies: These are the star of the show, delivering that distinct spiced flavor. If you can’t find biscoff, you can substitute with similar spiced cookies.
- 1/4 cup milk: This brings creaminess to the cookie butter. Use whole or 2% milk for the best texture, but non-dairy alternatives work well too.
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar: This adds sweetness and helps achieve that creamy spreadable consistency.
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla enhances the flavor beautifully. Opt for pure vanilla extract for a more robust taste.

How to Make Cookie Butter
Add Ingredients to Food Processor: Begin by adding all your ingredients—8 oz of biscoff cookies, 1/4 cup of milk, 2 tbsp of powdered sugar, 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of salt—into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment.
Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture until it transforms into a smooth paste with a consistency similar to peanut butter. If you find it’s too thick, feel free to add a tiny bit more milk until you reach your desired texture.
Enjoy!: Once smooth and creamy, your homemade cookie butter is ready to enjoy! Spread liberally on toast, pancakes, or use it as a dip for fresh fruit.
Storing & Reheating
Store any leftover cookie butter in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer to keep it longer, refrigeration extends its shelf life to about a month. For freezing, use a suitable container and enjoy within three months. When you’re ready to dig in, just let it sit at room temperature for a bit or give it a gentle stir to refresh the texture, as it may thicken over time.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid Over-Blending: If you blend too long, the mixture can become too warm and lose its ideal texture. Blend just until smooth.
- Taste & Adjust: Don’t hesitate to adjust the cinnamon or sugar to suit your personal taste—that’s part of the joy of making it at home!
- Texture Check: If your cookie butter is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until desired smoothness is achieved.
- Cookie Choices: While biscoff is the traditional choice, feel free to experiment with similar cookies, such as ginger snaps, for a unique twist.
- Make Ahead: This recipe is perfect for prepping in advance for gatherings. Just make sure to store it properly!
Though we adore this homemade cookie butter for its delightful flavor and simplicity, there’s something so special about creating it yourself. It invites creativity and makes every bite a personal joy. Plus, you can always adjust the sweetness or spice levels to tailor it just to your liking!
