Song: Cookie Monster's "Share it Maybe"
Many months ago, my friend introduced me to Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter and I both loved and hated her for it. Once you get a jar of your own, you just can't stop eating it. And now I work close to a Trader Joe's so it's easier and more convenient for me to visit the spectacular grocery store.
Soon I realized that the delicious cookie butter actually has a twin called "Biscoff Spread," which I found at Stop and Shop. I tried it, and it was just as good as the Trader Joe's brand. The problem with these cookie butters is finding foods and recipes to use it with. It's so good that it's like Nutella where you want to eat it right out of the jar!
When I realized that I had an unopened jar of it sitting in my pantry, I knew I had to use it quick-especially since it would expire at the end of the month. Obviously I didn't want to eat it all by myself, so I looked up cookie recipes that would feature it. The more cookies I could make, the more cookies I would be able to give away. The recipe I used was adapted from this one, featured on blog, Sweet C's Designs. I know that this recipe might be similar to the Nutella cookies I made, but so what?
Cookie Butter CookiesIngredients:
6 Tbs butter
1/2 c almond milk
1 1/2 c brown sugar
3/4 c Crunch Biscoff Spread
2 Tsp Vanilla
3 1/4 c quick-cooking oatmeal (I used Quaker Oats)
Directions:
1. Mix butter, milk, cookie butter, and sugar in a large saucepan. Stir the mixture occasionally until it comes to a boil.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Add the vanilla to the warm mixture and mix.
4. Add the oats and stir well. You might need to add more oats or milk depending on the ingredients you use. The cookies should end up thick and gooey, and stay in the shape you mold them into when they're placed on the wax paper.
5. Place the mixture in rounded spoonfulls on the wax paper, and refrigerate them until they're cool and firm.
6. Enjoy!
*Please note that I made the cookies small, and cut the recipe in half. Because I didn't have a car available that night, I couldn't go to the store and had to work with the ingredients I had. You know I love cooking and baking, but I wasn't about to walk a mile in the pouring rain to get Oatmeal! I had even tried getting some at CVS earlier in the day because it was on sale, but they ran out of it. Figures.

The song I decided to pair with this recipe is a bit goofy, but because cookies are for sharing, I thought it would be appropriate. I grew up with Sesame Street, and although I don't watch it anymore, I still have a lot respect for the show! Click here to see Cookie Monster sing "Share it Maybe." When "Call Me Maybe" first came out, I hated it because one of my roommates played it practically five times a day. I did grow to like the song, and thought that Cookie Monster had a funny parody of it.
