Cookie Butter Cookie Bars are gooey and chewy chocolate chip cookie bars with cookie butter as the base for these. Think spices and comforting tones.
What is Cookie Butter?
Cookie butter is a a spread like Nutella made from Biscoff cookies or Speculoos cookies. The flavour is very Christmas like. Full of spice flavour but very buttery and slightly sweet. I could honestly eat cookie butter by the spoonful!
I have never seen Biscoff biscuits or Speculoos cookies so I really had no idea what cookie butter would taste like. All I had to go on was what other bloggers had described. Luckily, I went into Aldi one day and they had two jars of cookie butter spread. Not a branded spread but a cookie butter spread none the less.
Immediately bought the jars and got straight to work testing recipes and consuming far too much cookie butter by the spoonful. (I imagine cookie butter on a warm piece of toast with melted butter would be divine!)
Needless to say these cookie bars are full of warm and inviting spice flavours with bursts of chocolate and white chocolate chips. Getting the right balance between cookie butter, butter and sugar is the key to the gooey and chewy factor.
It’s been rather stormy here so although we’re coming into summer, it feels like Autumn. These cookie butter cookie bars are perfect for this kind of weather. The spice smells when baking are so comforting!
