Nightowlz, think cookie dough but spreadable (kind of the consistency of peanut butter) . . . it's great on toast, plain cookies or my favorite . . . a big spoon!

It's really delicious. If you have a Trader Joe's by you they have a similar product called Speculoos (sp?) Cookie Butter and it is delicious.

Thanks. I will have to try it. We don't have a Trader Joe's. I see Aldi also calls theirs Speculoos Cookie Butter. I just looked at their ad online. It's probably the same thing with a small ingredient change.

That sounds good. I have that little rice cooker. It comes in handy. DH likes to take it to work sometimes. I can put everything in there for beef stew etc & he can take the inner pot out & put in his refrigerator until he gets ready to cook it.

Between me and my husband, Cookie Butter has never made it past a big spoon.

all of a sudden i have been seeing posts about this........trader joes has their own brand. BISCOFF has made this for quite a while now and has been available in the US for a number of years. you can now find it in many grocery stores. BISCOFF is what i have been buying.

a good alternative to any of the nut spreads.

I have a leftover tube of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls . . . I think I'll try rolling those up into little balls and spreading that cookie butter all over them . . . maybe toss some toasted pecans in there too . . . or mini marshmallows . . . WP rice cooker, here we come!

eta: and of course chocolate chips need to be invited to the party . . .

I had never heard of this but did like the sound of it so I googled to find more info. found an at home recipe since we do not have a Traders Joe. I do not believe I have ever seen it in any store in my hometown. Sounds delish.

2 cups cookie crumbs

1/2 stick butter

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup evaporated milk

water as needed

It's ready to eat as soon it's blended. Trader Joe's makes chocolate cookie butter now, but you can make this from any cookies. When I tested it, cookies that were a few days old worked better, so it's also a great way to reuse cookies that are going a little stale.

Make Homemade Cookie Butter (with any cookie!)

Internationally, Aldi Nord operates in Denmark, France, the Benelux countries, the Iberian peninsula, and Poland, while Aldi Süd operates in Ireland, United Kingdom, Hungary, Switzerland, Australia, Austria and Slovenia (Aldi Süd operates as Hofer within the latter two countries mentioned). Both Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd also operate in the United States; Aldi Nord is owner of the Trader Joe's chain, while Aldi Süd operates as Aldi.

Yes, the Albrecht family, the billionaire dynasty behind Aldi's were quite eccentric and colorful! Of course both brothers are dead now....

Does anyone remember what they paid for the Aldi Cookie Butter? I keep forgetting to look for it when I shop there. Today I bought the current issue of Cottage Journal, and it has a recipe called Apple Biscoff Galette. It calls for one cup of crunchy Biscoff spread. I was in Giant Eagle and bought the smooth Biscoff brand of cookie butter- it is a 14.1 oz size and was $5.99. Giant Eagle had both the smooth and crunchy spreads. I bet it is much less at Aldi.
