Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cookie Butter Coffee Creamer

Step 1: Blend the Base Ingredients
Start by adding 1.5 cups of half-and-half and 1/2 cup of creamy cookie butter to your blender. Blend these ingredients on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy, and ensure the cookie butter is fully incorporated. You’ll know it’s ready when the color is uniform and inviting, setting the stage for your delicious Cookie Butter Coffee Creamer.

Step 2: Heat and Whisk
Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and place it over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk to the mix. Whisk continuously for about 5 minutes until everything is well combined and smooth, taking care not to let it boil. You’ll see the mixture thicken slightly as the cookie butter melts, creating a fragrant aroma that makes your kitchen cozy.

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches
Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to sweeten your creamer. The vanilla will enhance the flavor complexity, while the sweetness can be adjusted based on your preference. Give it a gentle mix until fully blended, ensuring that the sweetness balances beautifully with the spiced cookie butter.

Step 4: Cool and Transfer
Allow your Cookie Butter Coffee Creamer to cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature. This step helps to thicken it further and makes it easier to handle. Once cooled, transfer the creamer into a glass jar or an airtight container using a funnel for convenience, ensuring none of this delightful mixture goes to waste.

Step 5: Store and Shake
Seal the jar tightly and store your homemade Cookie Butter Coffee Creamer in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before each use, remember to give it a good shake, as natural separation may occur. This ensures you enjoy every last drop of that rich, inviting flavor when adding it to your favorite coffee or dessert.
