Woke up slow this morning, not anxious to get started on my STUDAY (day of studying.) With eyes barely open, my radiant roommate, Haley, knocked on my door and proceeded to enter to ask if I would like to join her in a adventure to the miraculous Trader Joe's. My eyes lit at the opportunity and I got ready to hit the road without even a smidgen of coffee before we left. I bet you're wondering where this is going... what did I get you ask??
I got some lettuce, some apples, some yogurt covered pretzels, a French baguette and... drumroll please...
COOKIE BUTTER!
Yes you read me right! COOKIE butter! Nope, no nuts involved. It is but a glorious spread of gingerbread cinnamon cookie wonder goodness. You can't know until you've tried it! I must admit, this Speculoos Cookie Butter is competing with Nutella for my affection. It also comes in a nice glass jar that I will be saving when the butter is dare I say ... gone... (my guess would be 1-2 days despite the fact that a jar contains 27 servings ☺)
No one is going to argue that this is a healthy snack.. but sometimes you just have to eat what is good for your soul! And the label does suggest you try it on celery, although, that doesn't sound very appealing to me.
Other things the jar suggests:
- spread on pancakes or waffles
- peanut butter & cookie sandwiches
- serve on ice cream (I also had this idea... that could be absolutely fantastic)
- dip pretzels (also sounds good)
- eat from spoon (highly recommended)
- spread on bread (recommended)
- spread on warm toast (highly recommended)
- dip graham crackers (eh... not that good)
My new motto (courtesy of the cashier at Trader Joe's):
"It's always good to have a jar of cookie butter in your house."
