Trader Joe's Cookie Butter

Yesterday, during my weekly visit to Trader Joe's, I found the ever elusive Speculoos Cookie Butter.  As the shelf was still well stocked, I bought two jars.


Cookie Butter is a peanut butter or nutella replacement.  Instead of a nutty flavor, Speculoos Cookie Butter tastes like gingersnap cookies mashed into a smooth spread.  If you ever fly Delta airlines the Biscoff cookies they give out have a similar flavor. It is a good, rich, molasses flavor with just enough sweetness.

Since acquiring my very own jar of cookie butter I have been eating it on pretzels, graham crackers, with apple slices and on toast.  It is only 90 calories a serving so is a low calorie alternative to peanut butter but still really delicious and satisfying.  I've also come across a variety of baking recipes that feature this cookie butter as a star ingredient and hope to give those a try soon.

So, keep your eyes out and snag yourself a jar of Speculoos Cookie Butter.
