Cookie Butter (with any cookie!), makes 1 1/2 cups

2 cups cookie crumbs
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup evaporated milk
water as wanted
jars with lids for gifting/storage

First, you’ll wish to make your cookie crumbs. In case you have a cookie with no creamy center filling (like a chocolate chip or sugar cookie), then you possibly can put them straight into the meals processor.

If you happen to do have a filling (like an Oreo or Nutter Butter would), you then’ll wish to open the cookie and scrape out the filling with a butter knife first. You desire a dry crumb to work with, so the filling must be eliminated.

Place your cookies right into a meals processor and mix till it types a really advantageous powder.

You’ll want 2 cups, so simply preserve mixing cookies till you get there (since all of the cookies are totally different sizes or have two sides per cookie, the variety of cookies wanted gained’t be the identical).

As soon as your cookie butter is mixed, enable it to chill within the fridge for an hour or two. If you wish to, you possibly can truly cease at this level, and it’ll style scrumptious.

However if you wish to make the cookie butter smoother and simpler to dip issues in, then take away the cookie butter from the fridge and stir very small quantities of water (begin with 1/8 teaspoon) into the dough.

At first it is going to seem like the water is separating from the dough, however simply preserve stirring and mashing.

It’s best to begin to discover that the cookie butter loosens up a bit as you stir in additional water. Maintain including and stirring till you get to a consistency you want and refrigerate the combination once more.

Retailer your cookie butter within the fridge and it must be good for no less than every week or two. It might be good for even longer nevertheless it normally doesn’t final lengthy sufficient to seek out out! And right here’s a fast video tutorial of the method:

I really like all my cookie butter kids equally, buuuut, the Oreo is my secret favourite. I’m hooked on chocolate-covered pretzels, so you possibly can think about how good dipping pretzels into the Oreo cookie butter is. Elsie ate it with apples one morning for breakfast!

And naturally, spooning the cookie butter into jars (these small jars with wood lids are actually cute for gifting) and including a easy paper label makes your selfmade deal with the proper reward!

If you happen to’d reasonably simply skip to the consuming half, you too can simply purchase some already made cookie butter and get to the nice half quicker.

In case you are gifting these, they’d be a fantastic reward with a cute apron or some fairly kitchen utensils, too. What cookies would you employ to make yours? xo. Laura
