If you love Trader Joe’s and you love their cookie butter, you are going to LOVE this recipe. This homemade version tastes exactly like it (except better), and then you can have it on hand all year long!

I love copycat recipes. There is nothing like eating food that’s better than takeout in the comfort of my own home! Check out these favorites like these Air Fryer Avocado Egg Rolls (Cheesecake Factory Copycat!), this yummy Copycat Chick-fil-A Sandwich or this classic Super Easy Mongolian Beef (P.F. Chang’s Copycat).

If you haven’t had cookie butter yet, then you are in for the most delicious treat! Made from biscoff cookies, milk, sugar, and cinnamon, this delicious spread makes everything taste better!

This recipe is creamy, delicious, and better than Trader Joe’s! In fact, this recipe is so easy you can make it whenever you want and save yourself a trip to the store! Try using this on cinnamon rolls (instead of the frosting), in an ice cream sundae, or even mix it into your oatmeal!

There are only 4 ingredients you need to make cookie butter! So if you love the flavor of biscoff, this recipe is easy and delicious. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

  • Biscoff Cookies: This is the entire base of the butter and will give it that classic biscoff flavor!
  • Evaporated Milk: This will help make the butter nice and creamy.
  • Powdered Sugar: This adds a sweet flavor and nice texture to the butter.
  • Ground Cinnamon: This complements the Biscoff perfectly!

If you have a mixer or food processor, this recipe will be a breeze! It comes together in less than 5 minutes!

  1. Combine and Mix: Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom as needed.
  2. Store: Transfer to a jar or airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Easy Tips and Substitutions

This Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter Copycat recipe is so easy, and you can easily substitute ingredients if you don’t have certain ones on hand.

  • Can I substitute the milk? Yes! You can substitute the evaporated milk with regular milk, nut milk, or oat milk, but I recommend adding a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract if choosing to substitute.
  • Use an immersion blender: For ultra-smooth cookie butter, use an immersion blender to blend it again so every last crumb of cookie is pulverized. It can also help to allow the cookies to sit in the milk for a few minutes before blending.
  • What do you serve cookie butter with? Spread it on toast, waffles, cookies, apple slices, and English muffins, or eat it with just a spoon!

Storing Leftovers

This cookie butter lasts a long time so whipe it up, store it and enjoy it for weeks at a time!

  • In the Refrigerator: Transfer tthe cookie butter into a jar or airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
