So, you’ve bought yourself a jar of cookie butter—congratulations on, without exaggeration, one of the best decisions of your culinary career. Whether you’ve snagged a tub of Biscoff Cookie Butter or a jar of Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter, this smooth, decadent spread is about to be one of the most versatile items in your pantry.
Turns out pulverized, spreadable Belgian cookies in a jar are the best way to add toasty gingerbread-snickerdoodle-esque flavor to just about any dessert or snack that needs a buttery-sweet oomph.
