Description

This Homemade Cookie Butter Spread is a smooth, creamy treat made from gingersnap cookies blended with milk, butter, and warm spices. It’s perfect as a spread for toast, a dip for fruits, or simply enjoyed by the spoonful.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Butter Ingredients

  • 8 ounces gingersnap cookies
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients ensuring the gingersnap cookies are broken into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the gingersnap cookies, whole milk, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, powdered sugar, and fine sea salt in a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until a smooth, creamy paste forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the cookie butter. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, blending after each addition until the desired spreadable consistency is reached.
  4. Serve or Store: Enjoy the cookie butter immediately as a spread or dip, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within 1-2 weeks for best freshness.
  5. Feedback: If you’ve tried this recipe, leave a comment or rating to share your experience.

Notes

  • The amount of milk may vary depending on the brand and freshness of cookies used; adjust for preferred thickness.
  • Use whole milk for creaminess; alternatives like almond or oat milk may change flavor and texture.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Bring to room temperature before use if refrigerated for easier spreading.
  • Can be customized by adding different spices like nutmeg or ginger for variation.
