Hi Bold Bakers!
During the Holidays, do you have tons of cookies in your house like me? Sometimes too many to even eat, so I’m going to show you an awesome ways to turn them into Homemade Cookie Butters.
Homemade Cookie Butters only take 5 minutes to make AND you need just 3 ingredients – Cookies, Butter and Evaporated Milk. Blend those ingredients all together and what you are left with is a smooth cookie spread that can be used in a multitude of desserts, or just eaten straight off the spoon.
I never do things by halves, and my baking is no exception. That is why I made 3 Homemade Cookie Butters: Nutter Butter, Oreo and Shortbread.
The beauty of cookie butter is that you can get really creative and use it in so many different desserts: cheesecake, milkshakes, fudge, sundaes and so on.
I’m going to a show you one Big & Bold recipe you can make with with each cookie butter.
I adapted this recipe from one of my favorite blogs A Beautiful Mess. I came across her Cookie Butter on Pinterest and the photo alone was enough to sell me on the idea.

Hey! Made your cookie butter and oh my its amazing! I used triple choc cookies and its the best thing I have ever put on ice cream! Question is, once it’s jarred up, it is safe to reheat if wanted warm on ice cream another time?
Thanks

Made Nutter Butter style for my roomie’s Dad for Christmas…he absolutely went bonkers for it and got protective over it around the grand kids, lmao. Made some homemade Oreo’s n made them into cookie butter and then dark chocolate truffles and OMG YUMMMMMMMMYYYY, lol also use part of the Oreo batch of cookies (with cream cheese cream filling) and chocolate dipped them then crunched them up and made some of your 2 ingredient awesome ice cream. I call it “Come to the Dark side” (cookies included) Thanks for all the awesome time n recipe’s. You are more awesome then you… Read more »
Hi Gemma, these recipes sound lovely, thank you! Just a quick question regarding the storage: It says up to 6 weeks in the fridge. Given that it includes evaporated milk, will it not go bad sooner than that?
Do you think pretzels would work with your recipe to make spread?
Can I use this to make a gianduja?
My family loved this! I used Biscoff biscuits and it worked beautifully.
Can I use lottus biscof cookies
I am going to be making the Oreo cookie butter as a filling for mini cakes for my mum’s birthday in a few days. With the weight of cookies in the Oreo one, is the weight given for the cookies and the cream together or just the cookies as I know the filling is taken out.
Omg your killing me here! These cookie butters look amazing and I can’t wait to try! THANK YOU GEMMA!
