Biscoff Cookie Butter

Its creamy, sweet and absolutely delicious. If you like Biscoff cookies, you will love this cookie butter version!
How to make no bake cookies without peanut butter
Step One: Add the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Be sure to stir often to prevent the mixture from burning. Step Two: Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
Step Three: Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla, cookie butter, and quick oats until well combined. Using a cookie scoop (2 tablespoons), scoop out the mixture and place it on a lined cookie sheet. You can make the cookies any size you’d like—this recipe makes about 18 cookies. Allow the cookies to cool and enjoy.

FAQ and substitutions
I used whole milk. You can use 1-2% milk or a dairy-free version.
Nutella, WowButter, or sunflower butter would all be great options.
Old fashioned oats need to be cooked longer so I recommend only quick oats. If you only have old fashioned oats – you can pulse them briefly in a food processor or use them as is and it will be a much chewier cookie.

- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 3 cups quick oats
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chop the stick of butter into 1 tablespoon pieces. Line 2 cookies sheets with parchment paper

- After 1 minute, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour in vanilla, cookie butter, and oats. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Immediately use a cookie scoop (I prefer a 2-tablespoon scoop) to scoop the dough and drop it onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon instead. The cookies will be flatter instead of rounded.
