Trader Joes Speculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter is in its most simplistic terms spreadable Speculoos cookies. Speculoos cookies are classic Belgian cookies with great crunch and a slightly caramelized almost-but-not-quite-gingerbread flavor. (Try our Bistro Biscuits for a close approximation.) After the cookies are baked to a fabulous finish theyre crushed into a fine powder and mixed with magical ingredients (read: vegetable oils) and turned into a smooth spreadable substance we call Cookie Butter. It resembles peanut butter in color and consistency. Make no mistake though this is a treat through and through. Spread it on toast bagels pancakes or waffles. Use it as a dip for hunks of dark chocolate or pretzels or (gasp) veggies like carrots or celery. You could keep it really simple and just use it as a dip for a spoon.
