Biscoff Cookie Butter

Our family has tried many types of “peanut butter substitutes.” Many of them I enjoy such as wow butter or sunflower butter. However, this cookie butter is just perfect in these cookies. 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
