Homemade Cookie Butter

January 6, 2016

Cookie butter is one of my favourite indulgences. If you haven't had it before, it's similar to peanut butter, only it's made out of cookies. I stopped buying it from the shops when I realized I could make it for 1/6th of the price by myself with ingredients I already have at home. Plus, its faster to make than it takes me to get to the store that carries it! I happen to have an excess of ginger oat cookies from the holidays. You can use any dry cookie or graham cracker. Just add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg if you'd like the popular leading brand cookie butter taste.

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 15 servings

Ingredients:

4 oz cookies (I used ginger oatmeal)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup oil (vegetable, canola, or coconut)

Steps:

Break up the cookies and add to food processor along with powdered and brown sugars. Pulse until finely ground. Pour into a bowl.

Working in little batches, return the ground cookie and sugar mixture to the food processor and pulse again to turn into fine powder (I did it four times).

With the food processor running, slowly add the oil, stopping and scraping down the sides and mixing. It will take a minute or two to get to a nice creamy consistency.

Serve with toast, bagels, waffles, pancakes, or drizzle on ice cream. It's very versatile!

I like to jar it up and give it as gifts. If sealed nicely, it will keep well at room temperature for a few weeks.
