As of yesterday, I was formally introduced to the beauty that is Trader Joe's cookie butter. At first I was hesitant to try it. While cookie butter sounds delicious, I was worried that it was going to be the biggest disappointment of my life. After standing in the aisle for five minutes trying to decide what type I wanted, I finally opted for cookies and cream and checked out. My first bite of cookie butter will forever be ingrained in my mind. Looking back on it, it was probably a mistake for me to buy cookie butter considering I have no self control. But I don't regret it. I don't regret it at all. Now that I am a true believer in cookie butter and because I've now entered that stage in my life where I have to cook for myself, I have decided to compile a nice list of recipes, all of which involve the use of cookie butter. Trust me, I'm legally an adult.

1. 4 Ingredient Cookie Butter Mug Cake

This is literally one of the easiest cakes to make. Like, seriously. It looks absolutely delicious, and it's so quick, which is the best part about the entire thing. You can literally microwave it! If you want to find this blessed recipe, you can find it here.

2. Cookie Butter Three Ingredient Drop Cookies

You only need three ingredients, which means you don't even have to spend a lot at the store to make this delicious treat. While I've never made these (considering I was just introduced to cookie butter yesterday), the picture makes them look like quite the delight. You can find the recipe here.

3. Cookie Butter Cheesecake

OK, so this one requires a bit more time to make. It claims that it will serve 12 people, but good luck with that if the actual cheesecake tastes as good as the cookie butter. Admittedly it's harder to make, but who cares? It looks delicious and I'm willing to try making it once in my life. If you want to be daring, you can find the recipe here.

4. Cookie Butter Brownies

While these are also admittedly harder than the first two recipes, they look absolutely amazing. Usually I'm not a huge fan of brownies. These brownies look absolutely delicious, though. You do have to have more ingredients for these brownies than for others, but it seems like these brownies are well worth the hassle. You can find the delicious recipe here.
