Cookie Butter is, in the 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. After the cookies are baked to a fabulous finish, they're crushed and mixed with vegetable oils and turned into a spread. It resembles peanut butter in color and spreadability. The original Speculoos Cookie Butter is supremely smooth; Crunchy Cookie Butter is slightly crunchy, yet still supremely spreadable - kind of like the difference between creamy and crunchy peanut butter. Trader Joe's Cookie Butter is Perfect on ice cream, toast, pancakes, sandwiches and as a treat for Kids of course.
