Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 1 big cup 1x
Description
Let the almond butter and the cookie get to know each other, add bit of sweetener, vanilla and salt to the party, and let your tongue mingle with the blade of the processor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup crushed chocolate chip cookies (I use Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Cookies)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- sweetener to taste (I use 2 teaspoons erythritol)
Instructions
- Add the raw almond to the bowl of a food processor. Turn the food processor on and let it process the nuts until they become creamy and butter-like, approximately 12 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Once you have achieved almond buttery goodness, add in the crushed chocolate chips and let process until completely incorporated, about 3 minutes. Now add in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt, and process until incorporated and smooth. Sweeten to taste.
- Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, this cookie butter should last for about a week. Spread on toast, scoop onto oatmeal, eat with a spoon, but most importantly, devour.
Notes
You may use any chocolate chip cookies you want, but I use Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Cookies. You may substitute unsalted dry roasted almond for the raw almonds. I’m not ure how any other nuts would work in this recipe as I have not tried them. You may substitute any milk for the unsweetened almond milk. I store the cookie butter in a jar in the fridge, but any airtight container in the fridge should work just fine. The cookie butter should keep for about a week.

I don’t see step-by-step pictures?
This is a great idea, but I don’t have a food processor per se, just a Ninja blender which I’d like to think is pretty powerful, but to prevent it from being worked too hard, can’t I blend the almonds with the milk first? Thanks!
