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!
