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.
