why make this recipe

This recipe uses few items. You cook the mix for a short time. The cookies come out soft and full of flavor. You can make them in one pot and set them on a tray to cool. If you love cookie butter in many forms, try the Biscoff cookie butter cinnamon rolls for a nice change.

how to make No Bake Cookies with Cookie Butter

Heat the sugar, butter, and milk until they boil. Let the mix boil for one full minute. Take the pan off the heat. Stir in the cookie butter and vanilla until they melt and mix well. Add the oats and stir until the oats tie the mix together. Let the mix sit for one to two minutes so it thickens a bit. Use a scoop or spoon to drop the mix on a sheet and let it cool until firm. For another sweet that uses cookie butter in a roll form, see the Biscoff roll recipe.

Ingredients :

1 ½ cups granulated sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
½ cup whole milk
½ cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups quick-cooking oats

Directions :

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Bring the sugar, butter, and milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir now and then as it warms. Let the mix boil for 60 seconds.
Remove from heat and stir in the cookie butter and vanilla until melted and mixed.
Add the oats and mix until well mixed. Let the mix sit for 1–2 minutes until the oats soften and the mix thickens a bit.
Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to drop mounds on the lined sheet. Use the back of the scoop to spread and shape the cookies if you need to.
Cool the cookies for about 30 minutes or until they harden.
