Cookie Butter looks just like peanut butter, yet it tastes like something you've never had before. Basically, it tastes like gingerbread squeezed into a jar. It is smooth like butter though. OK, it is kind of a mystery spread. It is quite sweet with a ginger snap flair to it. Nutella better look out!
What will you do with the Cookie Butter once you have it? Trader Joe's suggests using it on pancakes or waffles. You can also use it as a peanut butter substitute. You might want to serve it on ice cream or dip pretzels in it. I suggest simply taking a spoon and digging in. Have you ever eaten peanut butter straight from the jar? It works just as well for this product, too.
If you are looking for a new mystery treat, you should visit Trader Joe's and buy some of this stuff. It is delicious, yet so weird I can't describe it. With a review like that, how can you resist?
I know I should be grateful that there isn't a Trader Joe's close to me, but I am sorely tempted to drive the 45 minutess it takes to get to the nearest one for this-- it sounds fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, the cookie butter can get a little sickening sweet after a while. However, their preserves and pumpkin butter is totally worth the trip. :-)
