What is Cookie Butter?
If you’ve never had cookie butter, then you’re missing out! It’s basically like peanut butter or any other spread, but it’s made with fine bits of cookie. Yum!
I consider it (especially this cookies and cream butter) like Nutella. It’s creamy, sweet, delicious, and easy to spread onto breads, but also works as a dip.

What to Eat with Cookie Butter
I absolutely love serving this cookie butter with graham crackers. The sweetness matches the flavor perfectly. Everyone in the room will devour it (so keep it hidden if you want it all for yourself). I’m not opposed to eating it by the spoonful either.
But you could also serve it with cookies (yes, more cookies!), or mix a spoonful into your bowl of ice cream. But don’t feel limited with this stuff. Try it on everything! Waffles and pancakes, fruit, toast, pretzels, churros, brownies. So much to try!
Make this cookie butter ASAP and get to dipping. You won’t regret making it because it’s so easy and delicious. Yum!

Cookies and Cream Cookie Butter
Equipment
- Kitchen Scale (optional)
- Hand Mixer (optional)
- Stand Mixer (optional)
Ingredients
FOR THE COOKIE SIDE
- 15 Oreo cookies 170 grams
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 25 grams
- ¼ cup heavy cream 57 grams
FOR THE CREAM SIDE
- ¼ cup unsalted butter 57 grams, room temperature (½ stick)
- ¼ cup vegetable shortening 46 grams, such as Crisco (¼ stick)
- 1¾ cups powdered sugar 198 grams
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
Instructions
FOR THE COOKIE SIDE
- Place the cookies in your Blendtec blender and mix on "chop" for about 10 seconds or until completely chopped and fine. (I used the Twister Jar for making this cookie butter. It is so nice to use the twister lid to get the cookies back into the middle while mixing. LOVE!)15 Oreo cookies
- Pour the vegetable oil and cream into the jar and blend on "mix" or medium-high until a batter like consistency forms. Set aside.¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
FOR THE CREAM SIDE
- In a small bowl using a handheld or stand mixer beat the butter and shortening together on high until creamy using the paddle attachment, about 1 minute.¼ cup unsalted butter, ¼ cup vegetable shortening
- Turn off the mixer and add the sugar and vanilla. Beat on low-medium for about one minute until well combined and super creamy. It will be pretty thick.1¾ cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
ASSEMBLY
- In a jar or bowl, fill the cream side first. Since it's thicker, its easier to do this side first. When I put the cream into the mason jar, I used a spoon and stuck the cream to the side of the jar until one side was filled.
- Pour or spoon the cookie filling into the other side.
- Serve atop toast or as a dip with cookies.

I would make salsa.
I’ve never had a good blender. This one looks like a really good and powerful. I make lots of healthy blends and I would like to try this blender.
We’ve been oven-less for the last 10 days and I’ve been dying to bake something ever since. Our part finally arrived yesterday! I’m thinking I’d love to try a Blendtec bread recipe – something lemony!
I definitely need a new blender. I love making smoothies, but my current blender isn’t cutting it any more. I’d make this cookie butter before anything healthy if I won though!
I am forever wanting to try these recipes but never seem to have all the right things at the right time. I will definitely try the cookie butter. I’ve never tried Trader Joe’s but how can you go wrong with chocolate and cream. You’re an inspiration Becky, but look who your parents are!
I do not know if relatives can win, but I hope so! I broke my $20 blender when I was making Oreo balls. If you have never tried them, they are a must. I am sure Becky can put a little spin on them to make them even better. Anyway, there have been no more Oreo balls in my house since my blender broke. I am sure this one has the power to crush those Oreos in no time! I am crossing my fingers that I win! Even if I don’t, I will make sure I share the recipe with Becky. Good Luck, Everyone!
I love making different things with a blender! The motor gave out on my blender last year.
I would make my homemade salsa recipe: fresh tomatoes from my garden, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, cumin, green chiles, garlic and mango.
I would make smoothies and then more smoothies!
If I won, I would get very creative in making soups. I especially would make cream of potato and cream of veggie soups. It would be great, putting in all the veggies and spices for a wonderful soup. :)
