Triple Cookie Butter Cupcakes

Why has it taken me so long to discover cookie butter? Have you tried this stuff?  It is no joke.  This buttery, creamy spread is seriously delicious.  



​
It's good on toast, it's good on crackers, it's good on just about anything.  Turns out, it's good in cupcakes too.  

Triple Cookie Butter Cupcakes
​1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
a large pinch of salt
6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
12 biscoff cookies broken in half
1/4 cup cookie butter

Cream together butter, brown sugar and sugar. 

Beat in eggs and vanilla. 

Stir in dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk.

​Place half of a cookie in the bottom of each paper lined cupcake tin.  Scoop batter over cookie. 

Bake 22 minutes at 350.  Cool on wire racks. 

Cut out the center of each cupcake and fill with cookie butter. 

Frost with cookie butter buttercream.  (A swiss meringue buttercream with a dollop of cookie butter swirled in.)

Cookie butter is available in most supermarkets and it's sold as speculos spread at Trader Joes.  If you can't find it in the store - you can buy it on amazon.  ;)

I want to know what you're eating with your cookie butter.   I'm completely addicted to this yummy spread and I can't imagine anything that it WOULDN"T be good on but I want to hear how you enjoy your cookie butter too.  Send me your recipes and cookie butter ideas - I can't wait to try them.   

Ciao!
