Cookie Butter Cookies Ingredients
- Butter - salted or unsalted butter works great.
- Milk - whole milk is best but you can substitute 2% in a pinch.
- Sugar - you will need white granulated sugar for this recipe.
- Vanilla Extract - pure vanilla extract has the best flavor.
- Cookie Butter - you can buy this at many grocery stores nowadays. Trader Joe’s carries it as well as other specialty stores.
- Mini Marshmallows - I prefer to use mini marshmallows because they melt more easily. If you only have large marshmallows you can chop them up a bit before melting.
- Old Fashioned Rolled Oats - be sure not to use quick cooking oats or steel cut oats because they won’t give these cookies the right consistency.
- Salt - sea salt works great.
How to Make Cookie Butter Cookies
- Boil the milk, sugar, and butter. In a nonstick pan, melt the butter. Add the milk and sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Remove from the heat and stir in the cookie butter and mini marshmallows. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are melted. Stir in the oats and salt and mix until combined.
- Scoop and let cool. Drop by the spoonful onto your prepared baking sheet then allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour or until set up.
- Serve or store. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the fridge. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
You can buy cookie butter at Trader Joes, as well as other specialty stores. You can also easily make it if you have a food processor. Just add Biscoff cookies to the food processor and continue to blend until it gets a peanut butter-like consistency.
You can refrigerate them, but I actually prefer to store these no bake cookies at room temperature. Put them into an airtight container and store in a cool dry place for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to 1 week.
If you don’t bring the sugar mixture to a complete boil for 1 minute, the sugar will not reach a high enough temperature to “set” the cookies. Make sure to either set a timer or count to 60!
Storing No Bake Cookies
- Room Temperature: store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- Refrigerator- if you need to store them for a bit longer and can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
