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. When you’ve got 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.

For those who do have a filling (like an Oreo or Nutter Butter would), then you definitely’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 needs to be eliminated.

Some cookies have a strong center that you could’t open and get to (like a Milano cookie), however I feel that may be OK for the reason that chocolate chip cookies have some chocolate bits blended in and so they turned out tremendous.

Place your cookies right into a meals processor and mix till it varieties a really tremendous powder.

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

In a small saucepan, warmth the butter over low warmth till melted, after which stir in your sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk till it’s all melted collectively.

Beginning with 1/2 cup of the liquid, pour it into your cookie crumbs and blend along with a spoon. Hold including small quantities of the liquid till the cookie butter is simply moist sufficient to remain collectively.

Relying on how dry the cookie is to start with, you’ll want kind of liquid. Actually buttery cookies (just like the sugar cookies) didn’t want almost as a lot because the drier Oreo cookies, so simply hold checking and stirring as you add the liquid.

As soon as your cookie butter is mixed, permit it to chill within the fridge for an hour or two. If you wish to, you possibly can really 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 can appear like the water is separating from the dough, however simply hold stirring and mashing.

It’s best to begin to discover that the cookie butter loosens up a bit as you stir in additional water. Hold 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 needs to be good for at the very least every week or two. It could be good for even longer but it surely 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 youngsters 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 right reward!

For those who’d reasonably simply skip to the consuming half, you too can simply purchase some already made cookie butter and get to the great half sooner.

In case you are gifting these, they might be an ideal reward with a cute apron or some fairly kitchen utensils, too. What cookies would you utilize to make yours? xo. Laura
