These Cookie Butter Balls will be an instant hit!
Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved cookie butter…
I know, I know… I have a serious cookie butter problem… a problem that looks like a jar a week.
Good God, what is wrong with me? Matt told me I needed to stop using cookie butter for everything, but when that’s what’s requested, what’s a girl to do?
I’m not sure why he complains, he loves the stuff, maybe he likes it too much, and he can feel thediabetesaddiction setting in.

Anyways,this year is the first year we won’t be spending Christmas with Matt’s family as they’re in Florida celebrating with his grandparents. I knew Matt was kind of bummed about not having them here and having to wait a few extra days for his mother’s traditional treats. He claims that her peanut butter balls are the best, they taste more like a Reese’s cup than any other he’s ever had.
Apparently, it’s the graham cracker she puts in them makes all the difference. I decided to try and make something similar for him to make their absence not as hard, of course, I can’t compete with Mom’s Peanut Butter Balls, but I can make Becca’s Cookie Butter Balls! I used the base of her recipe but switched the peanut butter with Speculoos crunchy cookie butter.
I mean what’s better than cookie butter swirled up with confectioners’ sugar and graham crackers and then dipped in decadent dark chocolate? Having a hard time coming up with something, aren’t you? Matt even added a little sea salt to some for added goodness!
Well there you have it, an easy and delicious sweet treat to make a package up for your loved ones! These would make great little gifts for co-workers, the mailman, and neighbors.

If balls are soft, you can chill them for about 10 minutes to make them easier to dip.

Roll into 1 inch balls and dip in chocolate, place on wax paper until chocolate hardens. (about 10 minutes)
Drizzle with any remaining chocolate.

What is cookie butter

Rebecca Hubbell says
Cookie butter is a spread made from ground bicuits/cookies. Trader Joe’s brand is Speculoos Cookie Butter and then Biscoff Cookie Spread/Butter is more widely available at most retailers.

I don’t have a recipe for homemade cookie butter, you can use Biscoff spread instead if that’s something you can find locally.

I love this ecipe! I call mine ‘double cookie butter truffles.’ Instead of grahm crackers, I use crushed up biscoff (cookie butter) cookies as well as cookie butter (spread) yummmReply

Such a great idea, why didn’t I think of that! Next time I’ll have to make them that way!

I was just looking at this recipe and thought the same thing about subbing Biscoff cookies for the graham crackers! I have both the butter and cookies! Will try, today!

I know, can’t believe I didn’t think of it! Hope you enjoy them!
Marci says
Could you just swap peanut butter for the cookie butter and that’s his mom’s recipe?? I want to try both versions! 🙂 Thanks for making my holiday cookie platter a little more sweet!

Boo hoo. When your grandmother and I were at Trader Joe’s I got two jars of cookie butter to take home. We do not have Trader Joe’s in my part of Florida. Alas……I left it in her car. She will mail it to me. In the meantime I will just have to suffer. Love you, Becca………………..Nanajackie
