Cookie Butter Favorites
Another compilation of my favorite recipes, this time
those involving cookie butter. You can use Biscoff which was the original
cookie butter or the Trader Joe’s version called Speculoos. I used to treat
them interchangeably; Biscoff is available at Target and, once in a blue moon,
at Costco while Speculoos is only at Trader Joe’s (as far as I know). However,
there are subtle differences between them. Biscoff is creamier and more akin to
peanut butter in terms of spreadability. Speculoos is also easy to spread but
you have to give it a stir or two first. I actually prefer the taste of
Speculoos over Biscoff but I still like them both. And yes, in a blind taste
test, my picky taste buds can taste the difference.
Given my past prejudices against combining chocolate with
cookie butter (two dominant flavors fighting rather than complementing each
other in my opinion), it won’t come as a surprise that none of my favorite
cookie butter recipes include regular semisweet or milk chocolate. Instead,
white chocolate prevails as it’s far more complementary to cookie butter than
“real” chocolate.
