Sure there are lots of products in the article that call out to me but the most significant is Cookie Butter. Cookie Butter?! My friend and I couldn't imagine how it couldn't be wonderful combining two things we love most--butter and cookies into one delicious spread.
I knew I had to have it. I don't like Trader Joe's. I go there and have to deal with tight parking lots, tight aisles and can never find anything I want with their crazy store organization. But I was resigned to give it a try anyway because I couldn't pass up a chance to try the famed Cookie Butter. I went there after work and actually discovered a store with more than one open space in the parking lot and rather roomy aisles. Hurrah!
As I was driving home after buying what one can only refer to as a grocery bag of the before-dinner munchies, my aforementioned friend texted me with a message that the cookie butter is amazing. She encouraged me to crack the jar in the car. Sadly it was stuffed in the back seat amongst boxes of un-needed snacks near the bottom of the bag. I counted down the minutes to the garage and rushed upstairs to prepare dinner and sample the butter.
Glorious! The texture of peanut butter the flavor of gingersnaps with a tiny bit of crunch from the smashed up cookies. This butter is terrible for you with 9g of fat per every 1 T but it would be delicious in a myriad of holiday sweets. For instance just today I saw a recipe for chocolate cookies stuffed with peanut butter--but they would be great with Cookie Butter instead. Or spread on toast with maybe a tiny dash of sea salt. Or spread onto cupcakes as a frosting.
Will I eat the whole jar without making a recipe? Doubtful. Could I? Very possibly. But I'll share instead!
