I haven't, but I've heard it's amazing. What are you looking at, Biscoff? I can eat peanut butter for days, so I'm not sure a jar of that stuff would last long in our house.0

Yes. Dangerous.
I adore the stuff. I can eat it by the spoonful. So good.0 -
I've been trying Trader Joe's cookie butters. The cookies and creme one is very sweet but SO good if you like cookies and creme. It is very dangerous for me to have lying around. I also have the Crunchy Speculoos cookie butter, which is pretty good on things, but I don't really like it that much on its own. I had some on a pancake and that was really good.0

I never bought it because I just couldn't figure out what to eat it with, but when I saw the pumpkin pie cookie butter from Trader Joe's, I had to buy it... it's delicious. I use it on English muffins (the pumpkin spice ones, of course), and on crepes/pancakes/waffles. I try not to eat much more than half a serving at a time though because the calories add up pretty quickly....0

OMFG.... A whole jar right now let's go!!!0

Smh... Thanks, now there's no way I'm passing up trader joes after my run tonight0 -
I'm always confused when people talk about not knowing what to put cookie butter on: a spoon. At some point, I need to try a combination of peanut butter and cookie butter.0

Love love love
Can't have it in the house.

Too sweet for me to eat straight off a spoon! but I've never eaten any of those spreads straight off the spoon.0 -

Yeah the biscoff stuff? Don't buy it. It'll be gone before you get home from the store. Amazing. I like putting it in brownies and deserts, but not on much else. Doesn't quite mix right with breads0

Yum. I didn't think I'd like it, but it is so good.bmarge10288 wrote: »Has anyone ever tried cookie butter? If so, what are your thoughts?
But it also can only be a treat.

I've only tried the Biscoff, and it just seems like a peanut butter substitute to me. Like something created for kids who are allergic to nuts and can't have nut butters.
The jar is nearly full, I don't find it particularly tempting at all. It tastes like graham crackers and rye bread blended together, to me.

I bought a jar once but did not like it at all, which surprised me cause I love chocolate/hazelnut spreads, nut butters, etc.
This cookie butter just didn't cut it for me.0 -
OMG cookie butter is life. Can literally eat the whole jar. My sister & I just grab a spoon & dig in lol #dangerouslydelish0

That Trader Joe's pumpkin spice cookie butter is amazing.0

In our Trader Joe's, they'll give you samples for free, so I tasted it.
It's peanut butter with sugar and spice added to it. I think I remember thinking that I tasted cinnamon and nutmeg.
Honestly, I didn't get all the hype.
I make my own PB from scratch and frequently add spices. It tastes less sweet, but much better than the Cookie Butter. IMO, that is. It's a matter of taste, though, and everyone is different.0 -

That would be a huge exception, lol. Thank you for pointing that out.

It's not peanut butter, it's made from crushed cookies, and I think was originally a Dutch thing.0 -
For curiosity sake.By 2007, several Belgian and Dutch companies began marketing a paste variant of speculoos, now available worldwide under various brands and names: as Speculla, Cookie Butter, Biscoff Spread. As a form of "spreadable Speculoos cookies, the flavor is caramelized and gingerbread-like with a color similar to peanut butter and a consistency ranging from creamy to granular or crunchy. The spread consists of 60% crushed speculoos cookies along with vegetable oils.
It developed in the area of Europe centered on Eeklo, Belgium, where local workers had long known that a sandwich made in the morning with butter and speculoos cookies would develop a spread-like consistency by lunchtime.
In 2008, two competitors entered a contest on the Belgian television show, The Inventors (de Bedenkers), with a spread made from speculoos cookies — Els Scheppers, who reached the semi finals, and the team of chef Danny De Mayer and Dirk De Smet, who weren't selected as finalists. Spreads made from crushed Speculoos cookies would subsequently go into production by three separate companies, and by the time they arrived in Belgian supermarkets, Speculoos spread caused a sensation, taking the "Benelux market by storm."Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter is, in its most simplistic terms, spreadable Speculoos cookies. Speculoos cookies are classic Belgian cookies with great crunch, and a slightly caramelized, almost-but-not-quite-gingerbread flavor. (Try our Bistro Biscuits for a close approximation.) After the cookies are baked to a fabulous finish, they’re crushed into a fine powder and mixed with magical ingredients (read: vegetable oils) and turned into a smooth, spreadable substance we call Cookie Butter. It resembles peanut butter in color and consistency. Make no mistake, though; this is a treat through and through. Spread it on toast, bagels, pancakes or waffles. Use it as a dip for hunks of dark chocolate or pretzels or (gasp!) veggies like carrots or celery. You could keep it really simple and just use it as a dip for a spoon.
And yes, it is like the nectar of the gods.0 -
