Super easy, no-bake cookies with chewy oatmeal and all the Cookie Butter flavor you could ever want.
Cookie Butter! Have you tried the stuff? The first jar I ever had, I ate completely with a spoon while snacking!
If you have never had it, you should walk out to your car, find the nearest Trader Joe’s and pick up yourself a jar (or maybe a case!).
Until last year, I lived where the nearest Trader Joe’s was probably 3 hours away (probably why I didn’t discover this treasure sooner), and was I missing out!
After you pick yourself up a jar, you’ll want to make these cookies; they are easy, quick, and one of my favorite things to do with cookie butter.
No Bake Cookie Butter Cookies
These are the equivalent to the chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies everyone made as a child, so you know they are easy.
They start with butter, milk and vanilla in a pan on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir in the oatmeal and cookie butter.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and, voila, cookies! They should cool completely before you eat them, but I dare you to let them alone that long!

No bake = win during the summer. And bigger win is the cookie butter! YUM!
Blair @ The Seasoned Mom says
These look amazing, Mallory! I’ve been eyeing cookie butter in the stores for a long time, but I haven’t bought it yet because I’m sure I’ll want to eat the whole jar in about 1 week! This recipe is tempting me, though…
Pinned!
Lindsay @ The Live-In Kitchen says
I can’t stop eating cookie butter straight out of the jar either! If I can ever restrain myself I’ll definitely have to try these cookies!
Allie | Baking a Moment says
Oh my goodness, I love cookie butter so much! And I have never made those kind of peanut butter cookies before. I love this idea and I can’t wait to try it out! Pinned 😉
Mallory says
Thanks, Allie. Maybe I’ll have to share the classic chocolate no-bake peanut butter cookie recipe.
Julie V. says
What is cookie butter? Is it sweetened? Shelf stable or needs refrigeration?
Mallory says
Hi Julie, It is crushed up Speculoos cookies and is available at Trader Joe’s or I think you can get it on Amazon as well. It store well like peanut butter, right on the cupboard shelf.
Linda Merillat Komondy says
They also carry at most WalMart stores.
Gina says
Never heard of it, but now I will NEVER forget it!! Thanks for sharing. Pinning!
Crystal Duncan (@FindingCrystal) says
Cookie butter? That sounds like a dangerous combination for me. Actually anything cookie or birthday cake flavored is dangerous for me. These look awesome. Pinning for later!

What is cookie butter ???
Mallory says
Cookie butter is sold specifically at Trader Joes. It’s basically crushed speculoos cookies. It’s very similar to Biscoff spread available at other super markets.
louann blankenship says
Where do you find cookie butter at the store? I have actually never heard of this. Thanks!
Mallory says
You can find cookie butter at Trader Joes. It is also very similar to Biscoff spread which you can find at Walmart.
katie says
I followed the directions exactly and mine look nothing like this. They are darker and don’t hold the shape of a cookie. Tastes good, so i wish it worked. Any suggestions?
Mallory says
Hi Katie! I’m guessing that you boiled the mixture to long. I would just barely bring it to a boil, before removing it from the heat and adding the oats. Boiling it, even for a few seconds will cause the mixture to crystallize when it cools and the cookies may fall apart.

Mallory says
Its similar to Biscoff Spread and can be found at Trader Joe’s.
Amy says
Fail! Turned out crumbly and dry. I compared your recipe to other similar recipes and it looks like you forgot some ingredients!
Lisa says
Agreed! I love cookie butter, and on its own it is sweet enough, but this recipe seems to need some sugar to add some sweet texture and hold it together like traditional no-bake cookies. Without it these cookies were pretty unremarkable.
Iris says
what is cookie butter?? and where can I buy it
Nicole says
These turned out terrible. No real flavor to them. Sad I wasted my cookie butter.
Paulette says
