Homemade Biscoff Cookie Spread

This extra thick and extra creamy homemade biscoff cookie spread recipe was inspired by Trader Joe’s famous cookie butter.

My kids love homemade cookie butter spread over their toast with a few slices of bananas and strawberries. So I decided to try my own hand at it. Making this biscoff cookie butter at home was one of the easiest things I’ve done. Simply combine the ingredients in the blender and enjoy immediately. If you’re a fan of this recipe for homemade biscoff cookie spread, then try using the leftovers to make Trader Joe’s cookie butter ice cream or mix it in with your Cream of Wheat Recipe like my kids do.

An Explanation Of The Ingredients

• Lotus Biscoff Cookies – Blend the biscoff cookies until smooth.
• Butter – Use unsalted butter.
• Brown Sugar – Adds just the right amount of sweetness to the lotus cookie spread.
• Cinnamon – Just a pinch of cinnamon will do the trick.
• Nutmeg – This is my own twist to this recipe but I love the flavor.
• Milk – Pour the milk in with the rest of the ingredients.
• Vanilla Extract – Gives the cookie butter a light vanilla taste.
• Salt – Add a pinch of salt to balance out all of the flavors.

How To Make Homemade Biscoff Cookie Spread

1. First, start by giving the lotus biscoff cookies a rough chop so you don’t have any trouble blending them together.
2. Cut the butter into thin slices. I prefer to cut the butter so that it incorporates easier into the rest of the ingredients.
3. In a blender or food processor, combine the biscoff cookies, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, vanilla extract and salt.
4. Blend on high speed or pulse to combine. If needed, open the blender or food processor and use a spoon to scrape the sides and combine the ingredients. Blend again as necessary.
5. Finally, spread over a slice of toast or enjoy as a dip for fruits.

Substitutes For Lotus Biscoff Cookies

I prefer making this Trader Joe’s copycat recipe for homemade cookie butter with Lotus Biscoff cookies but there are other alternatives out there that will do the job. Speculoos are a great substitute but ginger snaps work as well. And as a last resort, peanut butter cookies can be used. Just remember that peanut butter has a much stronger flavor and will alter the taste of your homemade biscoff cookie spread.

Ideas For Serving

• Fresh Fruits
• Toast
• Ice Cream
• Shakes or Smoothies
• Cookie Dip

Storing Suggestions

Homemade cookie spread does not have to be refrigerated. It can be stored for up to 5 days in an air tight container at room temperature. If it’s a littler hotter in your home than normal room temperature, then you may want to refrigerate as a precaution. Make sure to stir the cookie spread before serving as it does tend to thicken up as it sits.

Recipe Notes

• If you like your homemade cookie butter a little chunky, add some crushed up lotus biscoff cookie crumbs into the spread and mix.
• Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• If you can’t find Lotus Biscoff Cookies, any brand of ginger snap or speculoos cookies will work as a substitute.
