Homemade Cookie Butter. Have you tried cookie butter? It’s traditionally made from Biscoff cookies.
I have never actually had the store bought version of cookie butter. Mostly because I am afraid I would eat the entire jar in one sitting haha!
The store bought cookie butter also does not have a clean ingredient list. So I sought out to make some homemade cookie butter. This stuff is awesome!!
I had to find something to mimic the buttery texture of the Biscoff cookies, so I chose cashews. I have used cashews as a base in many of my flourless cookie recipes and it’s worked out great.
So I knew they would be great here. This homemade cookie butter is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. It contains no refined sugars.
I am thinking about using it in some upcoming dessert recipes. Maybe truffles. I also had some with my 5 minute banana ice cream today and it was amazing!
