Ingredients
Essential Ingredients
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Adds extra sweetness if desired; blends smoothly for a creamy consistency. - Oreo cookies
The chocolate wafer crumbs and cream filling provide both flavor and natural sweetness; regular Oreos work best for that classic taste, while Golden Oreos create a vanilla-forward version; remove the cream filling for a lighter chocolate flavor or keep it for extra richness. - Neutral oil
This helps create the smooth, spreadable texture that makes oreo cookie butter so irresistible; coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and firms up when chilled.
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Crush the Cookies (5 minutes)
Add 24 Oreo cookies to your food processor and pulse 10-15 times until you have coarse crumbs. Then run continuously for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes paste-like and starts clumping together. The cookies will release their natural oils and darken in color.
Pro tip: Stop and scrape down the sides every minute for even blending.
Add Oil and Blend (3-4 minutes)
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons of oil through the feed tube.
- Continue processing for 2-3 minutes until smooth and spreadable.
- Add more oil if needed for your desired consistency.
Expert tip: For chunky texture, pulse in a few extra cookie pieces at the end.
Taste and Store (1 minute)
- Taste your oreo cookie butter and add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar if you want it sweeter.
- Pulse to combine. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for best flavor and texture.
The finished spread should be smooth, creamy, and similar to natural peanut butter consistency.
- Step 1: Crush the Cookies
Process cookies into fine crumbs until paste-like.
- Step 2: Add Oil and Blend
Blend in oil until smooth and creamy.
- Step 3:Taste and Store
Taste, adjust sweetness, and store in the fridge.
Pro Tips for Perfect Oreo Cookie Butter Results
- Flavor boost: Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate notes in your oreo cookie butter; for even more depth, try mixing in a dash of vanilla extract.
- Texture control: For ultra-smooth oreo cookie butter, let the food processor run for an extra 2 to 3 minutes; if you prefer a chunky texture, simply reserve some crushed cookies and fold them into the finished oreo cookie butter at the end.
- Storage secret: Keep your oreo cookie butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; the oil may separate slightly during storage, so just give it a quick stir before using.
Smart Recipe Substitutions
- Flavor enhancer: Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to your oreo cookie butter for a deeper, richer flavor that highlights the crushed Oreo goodness.
- Nut-free option: Stick with the original oreo cookie butter recipe for a school-safe spread that’s allergy-friendly and full of that classic chocolate-vanilla flavor.
- Sunflower seed butter swap: Use sunflower seed butter instead of oil for a subtle protein boost; this gives your oreo cookie butter an extra nutritious touch without sacrificing taste.
- Natural sweetener alternative: Replace powdered sugar with maple syrup for a naturally sweet oreo cookie butter that has a gentle hint of caramel.
Variations and Dietary Modifications
Flavor Variations
- Double Chocolate Oreo Butter: Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for an intense chocolate kick that pairs beautifully with strawberries; this takes your oreo cookie butter to a whole new level.
- Mint Oreo Spread: Use mint-flavored Oreos for a refreshing twist that’s amazing on chocolate cake or swirled into frosting; a fun way to reinvent classic oreo cookie butter.
- Peanut Butter Oreo Fusion: Swirl in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for the ultimate peanut butter Oreo experience; the nutty richness blends perfectly with the creamy texture of oreo cookie butter.
Dietary Adaptations
- Keto-friendly: While classic Oreos aren’t keto, you can make a low-carb oreo cookie butter by swapping in keto chocolate sandwich cookies; it’s a fun way to stay on track while enjoying a sweet treat.
- Vegan version: Most Oreos are accidentally vegan, so this oreo cookie butter recipe fits right into a plant-based lifestyle; for best results, use coconut oil instead of other oils.
- Lower sugar: Skip the powdered sugar altogether and sweeten your oreo cookie butter with stevia or monk fruit to taste; a great way to cut down on added sugar without sacrificing flavor.
Equipment
Must-Have Tools
- Food Processor: A full-size food processor works best for this recipe. Mini processors can work but may require making smaller batches.
- Rubber Spatula: Essential for scraping down sides and getting every bit of your delicious creation.
- Airtight Storage Container: Glass jars work beautifully and let you see your gorgeous chocolate cookie spread.
Budget-Friendly Alternatives
Don't have a food processor? A high-powered blender can work, though you'll need to stop and scrape more frequently. A mortar and pestle requires more elbow grease but creates incredible texture.
Storage and Meal Prep Tips
- Make-ahead tips: Double or triple your oreo cookie butter batch and portion it into small jars for gifts, meal prep, or future snacking; the flavor actually gets better after a day or two as the ingredients blend and mellow together.
- Refrigerator storage: Your homemade oreo cookie butter will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container; the cold may make it a bit firmer, but it softens quickly at room temperature for easy spreading.
- Freezing instructions: This spreadable oreo cookie butter freezes beautifully for up to 3 months; freeze small portions in ice cube trays, then transfer them to freezer bags; when ready to use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
The Secret That Makes Oreo Cookie Butter Irresistible
When I first started making oreo cookie butter at home, I thought blending up those cookies into a creamy spread was all it took to achieve perfection. But after a bit of kitchen experimenting (and a few too many taste tests), I stumbled on a simple trick that transformed my homemade version into something that tasted straight out of a gourmet bakery.
The real magic happens when you let your oreo cookie butter rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving; this gives the flavors time to meld and the texture to become silky smooth. The result? A richer, deeper, more complex spread that makes every bite feel like a little indulgent secret you’ll want to share; maybe.
FAQ
Is cookie butter the same as Biscoff spread?
Cookie butter and Biscoff spread are very similar, but they’re not exactly the same. Biscoff spread is a type of cookie butter made specifically from Lotus Biscoff cookies, which have a caramelized, spiced flavor; cookie butter can be made from all kinds of cookies, like our oreo cookie butter, giving it that rich chocolate-vanilla taste.
What is the cream in the middle of an Oreo made of?
The cream filling in an Oreo is mostly sugar, palm oil, and a bit of soy lecithin and flavoring; it’s that sweet, fluffy texture that makes oreo cookie butter so delicious when blended into a spread.
What is the rarest flavour of Oreo?
One of the rarest Oreo flavors is the Swedish Fish Oreo, released in limited markets and for a short time; it’s a hard-to-find variety that has become something of a collector’s item among Oreo fans.
Is Oreo cookie a sativa or indica?
Oreo cookie in the context of this recipe is simply the classic sandwich cookie we all know and love; no connection to cannabis strains here. If you’re searching for oreo cookie butter, you’re looking at a sweet, spreadable treat made from crushed Oreos, not anything herbal!
