A delectable, sweet treat that is part-cookie dough, part-fondue and 100% pure delicious. Once you make the basic recipe you can play with how thick or thin you want your cookie butter to be. Each cookie crumb takes slightly different amounts of liquid depending on the brand of cookie you use. Make it thinner by adding more evaporated milk, which is perfect for dipping fruit, chocolate and waffles in. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, make it a bit thicker and try your hand at cookie butter chocolate cups or cookie butter truffles. If all else fails, grab yourself a spoon and go to town.
