I’ve been thinking a lot about what I could do with cookie butter that would be fun; frosting perhaps? Or a cookie? Oh yes, most definitely a cookie; cookie butter cookies it is!
What is cookie butter, you ask? Well, cookie butter is typically made from pulverized spice cookies, a fat, flour, and a lot of sugar until it’s spreadable like nut butter. It’s basically spreadable cookies. 😁
Have you tried it; cookie butter, I mean? There are a couple of really good options out there. This Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter is my personal favorite. It tastes just like the Belgium Lotus Biscoff cookies, which are delicious!
The Whole Idea Behind Cookie Butter Cookies
I love nut butter cookies, peanut butter specifically, so I thought a cookie butter cookie would be a lot like that and I was right, they sure are…and more!
These cookies are thin, chewy, and have the unique flavor of Biscoff cookies! The outside edges of the cookies are crispy and crunchy, but the insides are soft and just a little crumbly. And who doesn’t love some cookie crumbles?!
The whole recipe is quick and easy to whip up. Start to finish, you’re under 30 minutes and you only need one bowl!
And if you love Biscoff, add this Biscoff Cake to your list to try to, it’s 10/10 delcious!
Key Ingredients
- Softened butter. It’s important to have very soft, but not melted butter. Take the butter out 1-2 hours ahead of time and let it sit at room temperature.
- Dark brown sugar. Using dark brown sugar will add to the moisture content and chew of these cookies.
- Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter. This particular cookie butter has the very unique flavor of Lotus Biscoff cookies and that makes it the best cookie butter for this recipe.
How to Make Cookie Butter Cookies
- Start by creaming the butter and sugars together until smooth.
- Next, beat in the eggs, milk, and vanilla.
- Fold in the cookie butter.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, and sea salt together in a separate bowl.
- Add the flour mixture, half at a time and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Then scoop the cookies out, sprinkle a little sugar on top, and bake them for roughly 10 minutes.
- Cool and enjoy!
This was one of those recipes that after the first time I made it, I knew it was a keeper. I love the light flavor of the cookie butter in a homemade, sweet, warm, crispy little cookie.

Questions About This Recipe
I, of course, ate a cookie or two right out of the oven because I couldn’t wait to give them a taste test, and then proceeded to eat about three more because they were so tasty.

Wow, I knew I’d love this recipe (because I am obsessed with cookie butter) but wow, I was blown away by how lovely these were! And extremely easy to make! Dangerously delicious – I ate 4 within half an hour 😀
Haha Ieva me too! I am obsessed! Thank you so much. I’m glad you found it to be an easy recipe; that was my goal!
Kristine, I have lived this long and never heard of cookie butter! Really! Now I must try this recipe to see how it tastes; both the cookies and the cookie butter. Just proves one is never too old to learn of new things! Thank you!
Oh Christine, you need to try it! It’s yummy! You can find it at most grocery stores near the peanut butter. It comes in both smooth and crunchy. I used smooth for this recipe, but both are very good by themselves haha!
On #9 of the directions you have written remove cookies from oven and immediately press a Hershey Kiss on top of each cookie. There is no mention in the ingredients list about Hershey Kiss nor did I see any on any of the pictures of your cookies. I look forward to making these with my Grandchildren next week, just rolling them in granulated sugar.
Hi Linda, thank you for the heads up! I don’t know what happened there. I’ll amend the recipe right now. I kind of like the idea of a Hershey’s kiss though, maybe I’ll rebake these and try it. I appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment for me. Have a great day!
These cookie butter cookies were fantastic! My whole family ate them up so fast. I’m going to have to make another batch again very soon!
