All About These Cookie Butter Cookies

These Cookie Butter No Bake Cookies may just be your new favorite no bake cookie! Their fun and tasty flavor will have everyone reaching for seconds before their first is even gone!

I love using cookie butter instead of peanut butter on toast and even in frosting recipes to make the Best Cookie Butter Frosting! So, it just made sense to try it in my no bake cookie recipe too!

And I haven’t regretted it once, so I bet you won’t either! Make them as an after-dinner treat or even for the holiday cookie swap!

Ingredients For Cookie Butter No Bake Cookies

  • Granulated Sugar
  • Salted Butter
  • Whole Milk
  • 1-Minute Oats
  • Cookie Butter
  • Vanilla Extract

The Star Ingredient: Cookie Butter

The star ingredient in these no-bake cookies is obviously the cookie butter! The creamy ingredient has a sweetly spiced flavor since it’s made from Speculoos cookie crumbs, giving these cookies all of their delicious flavor!

This cookie recipe can be made with Biscoff Cookie Spread since it’s more commonly found in grocery stores. However, I’m a little partial to Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter. You can’t lose with either one, though, since these cookies will turn out amazing either way!

How To Make Biscoff No Bake Cookies

1. Add the butter, sugar, and milk to a heavy-bottomed pot and cooking over medium-high heat.

2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for 60 seconds (45 for even softer cookies), and then immediately remove from heat.

3. Working quickly, mix in the oatmeal, cooking butter, and vanilla until fully combined.

4. Drop spoonfuls or cookie scoops of the mixture onto wax paper and let cool until fully set.

How To Store Cookie Butter No Bake Cookies

These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy them for up to 3 days! I do recommend enjoying them sooner than later since they tend to dry out over time.

Steps

  1. Place sheets of wax paper on two baking sheets and set aside. Measure out the ingredients in advance so they are ready to use since you will need to work fast when making this recipe.

  2. Combine sugar, butter, and milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stirring frequently until the butter has melted.

  3. As soon as the mixture starts to bubble in the middle, set a time for 60 seconds. Let the mixture come to a rolling boil and cook for 60 seconds, then immediately remove from heat.

  4. Immediately stir in the oats, cookie butter, and vanilla until fully incorporated.

  5. Quickly drop the mixture onto the wax paper-lined baking sheets using a medium cookie scoop or wooden spoon.

  6. Let cool for at least 30 minutes to set.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the butter mixture or the cookies will be dry and crumbly. 60-seconds from center bubbles forming is key. I highly recommend setting a stopwatch timer. You can cook for just 45 seconds for cookies that are softer and spread more.
  • It's best to avoid making no-bake cookies on humid or rainy days, as the additional moisture in the air may prevent them from setting up.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. However, they will dry out over time.
  • Make sure you use 1-minute/quick-cooking oats in this recipe. Old fashioned oats will be too firm.
  • This recipe makes about 24 to 26 cookies when portioned out with a medium cookie scoop.
  • For a chocolate version, add 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the milk and butter mixture.
