Frequently Asked Questions
What is cookie butter, and where can I find it?
Cookie butter is a spread made from crushed spiced shortbread biscuits — think the texture of peanut butter but with a warm, cinnamon-cookie flavor. I use Trader Joe’s cookie butter swirl, but Biscoff (widely available in the peanut butter aisle of most grocery stores) works just as well.
Can I make this shake gluten-free?
I deliberately called for gluten-free Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats specifically. As long as your protein powder and cookie butter are also certified gluten-free, the shake is naturally suited to a gluten-free diet.
