What You’ll Need
- Cream cheese: Provides a rich, tangy base that complements the sweetness of the cookie butter. Use full-fat cream cheese for the best results.
- Cookie butter: The star of the show, bringing its signature spiced flavor. Look for it alongside peanut butter and other spreads.
- Confectioners’ sugar: Also labeled as powdered sugar or 10X sugar. It adds sweetness without graininess. If yours is lumpy, consider sifting it for a smoother dip texture.
- Vanilla extract: Just a bit to enhance the overall flavor.
- Heavy cream or milk (optional): To adjust the consistency for dipping.
How to Make Cookie Butter Dip
- Beat the cream cheese. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cookie butter and sugar. Mix in the cookie butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Adjust consistency. If the dip is too thick, gradually add milk or heavy cream until it’s smooth and perfect for dipping.
- Chill and serve. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with crushed speculoos cookies or a drizzle of cookie butter, if desired.
Tips for Success
- Room temperature ingredients. Let the cream cheese soften before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free dip.
- Taste and adjust. Sweeten to taste with more or less confectioners’ sugar based on your preference.
- Make it ahead. This dip can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving. Give it a quick stir before serving.
- Get creative with garnishes. Crushed speculoos cookies, mini chocolate chips, or a swirl of cookie butter make for an eye-catching presentation.
Serving Ideas
- Sweet dippers: Try graham crackers, apple slices, shortbread, waffle cookies, strawberries, or marshmallows.
- Salty dippers: Pretzels, potato chips, or salted crackers add a sweet-and-salty twist.
- Other ideas: Use it as a spread on pancakes, waffles, or toast.
How to Store
- Refrigerate: Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Re-mix if needed: The dip may thicken as it chills; simply give it a stir or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
