I’ve been pretty quiet on the Christmas cookie front this year.
It’s not because I’m not in the spirit, it’s because last year I feel like I sort of wore myself out on them. If you can remember, I dedicated an entire week to them last year {sidenote: if you just make ONE, make these pecan fingers…they are to die for!}. Anyway, I haven’t done too much Christmas baking this year. I did, however, make sugar cookie butter. Does that count? I think it should.
This sugar cookie butter is a delightfully creamy blend of cashews, banana chips, coconut oil and honey. It’s gluten-free except for when you slather it all over a graham cracker like I did in the photo above. Glorious. I also found it to be a lovely substitute for peanut butter and absolutely divine when smeared on animal crackers.
Oh yeah, it’s good right off the spoon, too.
To make sugar cookie butter, you just combine all your ingredients in the food processor and whirl, whirl, whirl away.
I went heavy on the honey in mine because of my overactive sweet tooth. It’s becoming a problem…don’t tell my dentist.
The “butter” is definitely thicker {firmer?} than other nut butter, in my opinion. It’s actually more like spreading cookie dough on your cookie. Which, if you’re anything like me, is absolutely amazing.
The original recipe for this concoction comes from the talented Rachel. Last week, I remade it for the Tasty Kitchen Blog so you can find the recipe, along with my step-by-step photos there!
What are you waiting for? Spread those Christmas cookies with cookie butter. Everyone’s doing it!

Going to check this out- can’t wait to try it!
This might just be better than Christmas cookies! You can’t go wrong with these ingredients, and I love how simple it is to make. Kind of like hummus…. but sweet tooth style!
I wouldn’t even slather this on anything! It’d be sugar cookie butter, me, and a spoon.
this.looks.amazingly.good.
I love this recipe! I am taking this as a Christmas gift from you to me.
What a cool recipe! Headed over there!
This could be even more dangerous than almond butter straight from the jar!
Hahahaha! Cookies on cookies. Seriously, what could be better? This sounds like such a fun recipe and a versatile one too. I’m thinking a dip or balls or something. Yum!
Sugar Cookie Butter…just the name makes me drool!
Looove this! This needs to appear in my kitchen asap.
This sounds heavenly! I’m headed over there NOW!
Would it be wrong to spread this cookie butter on cookies? I think not, right!?
Yum! I saw that photo on Tasty Kitchen the other day and thought it looked like one of yours… this looks delicious!
Oh! This looks delicious! I will definitely be making this for Christmas Eve. I absolutely love cookie butter so I am sure that I will love sugar cookie butter even more! I also have a crazy sweet tooth
I love cookie butter of all kinds – just posted about some today, too! I love that yours is SUGAR cookie butter. And I bet it’s soooo good! I need to recreate, asap!
These look sooo good. And easy. Perfect, because I want to make a Christmas cookie, but I don’t want it to be a chore!
Christmas cookies covered in cookie butter… Best idea yet this holiday season.
What a funky idea. Love it!
This is brilliant!
Wow – I’ve never heard of anything like this! Seems like it’s the perfect substitute for eating raw cookie dough out of the bowl (not that I do that – haha)! Thanks for sharing!
Jenna, just stop. You’re doing terrible things to my waist/caloric intake right now… But if this is wrong, then I never want to be right.
I’m already experiencing a sugar crash! YUM!!!
This sounds absolutely amazing!! It is definitely right up my alley!
This looks amazing! I saw the Trader Joe’s version but I haven’t bought it yet. Now I can just make it myself
Thanks!
This sounds so good!!! I’d probably end up finishing off the entire batch myself!
I have never heard of this kind of recipe before! Oh, and I just started reading Blue Asylum too.
This sounds heavenly. I need to go pin it (and then make it) right away!
