Easy to make Cookie Butter Cheesecake recipe that only requires 8 ounces of cream cheese!
Cookie Butter Cheesecake
In this post we will be chasing this Swirled Cookie Butter Cheesecake.
Do you know about Cookie Butter, aka one of the greatest things ever invented, aka omg good get it away from me before I eat anymore, aka omg get it away from me before I eat anymore – no wait a minute, please bring it back to me? Cookie Butter can be bought at Trader Joe’s and it basically tastes like you are eating a Gingerbread Cookie house.
Trader Joe’s suggest that you put Cookie Butter on pancakes and snacks, but whatever, I will continue to eat it with a spoon like it was meant to be eaten. Unfortunately though after many spoonfuls worth a few days ago I realized that one 1 serving is 1 tablespoon. WHAT? How guilty did I feel? Very. How many more spoonfuls did I eat to get me out of this guilty depression? Many.
Once you have it, you will always crave it. You will change your schedule around to be near Trader Joe’s when at all possible. You will tell yourself you are only buying 1 jar then as soon as you see it will you buy multiples to have as many hits as you crave. I am not saying I want you to become addicted to Cookie Butter because it will lead you down a long and delicious road full of your childrens missed plays and wondering if people know you are secretly hiding a Cookie Butter addiction or not.
At the same time I really want you to try Cookie Butter if you can. I think everyone should taste this goodness once in their life because it really is magical. I suggest buying a jar, eating 1 spoonful and then throwing it away immediately. And then because I know this will happen, you will be scraping around your trash can at 3AM to find the rest of the jar – but I am not condoning that, it’s just what’s going to happen. Actually I think it’s almost impossible to only eat 1 serving at a time, I’m serious. Try it, you will fail. I am sorry for not being more positive, but Cookie Butter… it just takes over your life.
So one night recently I decided to eat Cookie Butter a different way then with a spoon. Enter this Swirled Cookie Butter Cheesecake into my life. This Cheesecake rules for many reasons:
It’s really really delicious.
This is meant to be a quick recipe. I am even using a pre-made crust. Feel free to make a homemade one if you have the extra minutes.
This recipe only uses 1 8oz package of Cream Cheese. So many recipes call for 3+ packages of cream cheese, not this one.
Cookie Butter is mixed inside the cheesecake then drizzled on top. That gives the Cheesecake a delicious cookie taste.
Repeating it’s really really delicious.
I hope you give this Cookie Butter flavored Cheesecake a taste! You’ll just love it.

Hehe, love that adorable runaway cheesecake gif 🙂 I’m not a big fan on plain cheesecake but when it’s jazzed up with other flavors – especially cookie butter – I’m all for it! This looks so pretty and sounds awesome 🙂 Love the melted cookie butter glaze – it looks amazing!
Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic says
Hahah glad you came around to liking cheesecake! I agree that cookie butter is like a very strong drug 🙂
Chris @ Shared Appetite says
You’re absolutely right… cookie butter is like a drug. It’s impossible to stop at one spoonful. They are setting us up for serving size failure! I actually added cookie butter into crack pie last year (http://sharedappetite.com/crack-pie/) and it was a huge hit. This reminds me I need to start throwing cookie butter into pretty much every baked good from here on out.
And I need this cheesecake in my life. Immediately.

Notes: if you cannot get cookie butter, rethink your existance

Ashley says
haha oh cookie butter. I have an open jar in my pantry right now and sometimes find myself sneaking in to grab a spoonful … oops! This cheesecake sounds absolutely delicious!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes says
I made a cheesecake with Biscoff once so I know how good it must be with the cookie butter! Nice job with this! Happy Thanksgiving!

Cute and tasty looking moving graphic!
Amy @ Elephant Eats says
Haha, so glad Matthew was able to get you to try some cheesecake. you would have been missing out so much otherwise! (I happen to think that if you like cheesecake or cream cheese, you prob would like sour cream as well). Cheesecake is one of my most favorites desserts. I haven’t bought the TJ’s cookie butter for the exact reason you’re describing- i’m scared of becoming addicted! However, I’m totally going to have to buy a jar to make this…it looks so so good!!!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
Your mayo fear makes me giggle. When I was in junior high school, one of my good friends would always bring a cheese slice/mayo sandwich for lunch that would make me cringe. She always said it was SO good, but I never tried it myself. Eww. I don’t mind mayo, but only in very small quantities. A guy I dated loved the stuff and would literally smear like, half a cup of mayo on his sandwiches until it was literally oozing out of them. This cookie butter cheesecake sounds divine, and really makes me wish we had Trader Joe’s in Canada!
Prudy says
Pamela!! I’m so excited…first because I can’t wait to try this cookie butter… but most importantly because we finally have a Trader Joe’s about 15 minutes from my house!! They just opened the very first one in Buffalo about a month or so ago. I’ve stayed away (believe me, it’s been hard..) because of the craziness and excitement of the new store, I wanted to wait until it calmed down a little. But now? yeah, I’m heading there…like..now I want to go there tonight. <3
Laura @ Lauras Baking Talent says
I’ve never had cookie butter.. but I’m totally going to have to try it now. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Incredibly creative cheesecake using TJ’s Cookie Butter! I am a cookie butter and anything gingerbread fiend. I’m glad you came around to liking cheesecake. Like Julie, I admired your animated gif! Best wishes for a very happy Thanksgiving! xo
Koko says
OMG I just discovered cookie butter this year, as you saw on Instagram!! I made cookies with it yesterday…but this cheesecake looks to die for!!!
Suzanne says
Delicious, I still have fear of cracked cheesecake but persist. Is the cookie butter biscoff?
Emma @ Fork and Good says
This is making me so hungry. It’s like…. I feel naughty even looking at it, cause it looks so darn good! Loving the moving picture at the beginning too (Hark at me… moving pictures! I sound like an 80-year-old)
The Squishy Monster says
Be still my heart—love that there’s cookie butter over this and that most importantly, that is a cheesecake (my faaavorite)!!!
Shashi @ http://runninsrilankan.com says
There was a time when all my sis would eat was white stuff! White bread – white rice – mayo – yogurt – but they could never be togther!
This cheese cake sounds so easy and delicious – but I am scared to try cookie butter as I have a serious addiction to ALL nut butters … 🙂 So, the way I see it only one solution – I come over to NYC and try a slice of this!
Yah?!
Happy Thanksgiving Pamela

Natalie @ Tastes Lovely says
I love cookie butter, and I *love* cheesecake! This sounds like a match made in heaven.
Want to hear a horrible mayo incident that has me scarred? I went to a church in junoir high where they had a game, oreo eating contest. You had to see how many oreo’s you could eat in 1 minute. But as a prank, half of the people where given oreo’s with mayo inside. Guess which kind I got? Yup. It was the grossest thing I’ve ever eaten! I never went back to that church either, ha!
Kristina says
Ive never seen cookie butter before – know what I’m looking for next time at TJs 🙂 This looks UNREAL. I love cheesecake!
Coffee and Crumpets says
I am so glad I am not addicted to cookie butter, I can see it not ending well at all. I got some, I tried it, but thankfully I don’t have an addiction.
However, I can imagine this cheesecake tastes quite fantastic because cookie butter tastes divine!
Nice touch!
Julie @ Table for Two says
haha, that gif just made me laugh! so cute and creative! cheesecake and cookie butter = match-made in heaven. this looks amazing!
Monica says
I’m not much of a cheesecake fan and I think you’ve converted me – and there’s not even chocolate in this! It does look amazing. And so funny about the mayo – I can totally relate. I hated it as a kid – the smell! I would make sure the sandwich guy knew I wanted nothing but the meat and bread on sandwich, particularly not mayo, and I avoided burgers. I couldn’t stand when my sister would slatter her sandwiches with the stuff. I still don’t like it much now on its own but I’m totally fine with it if it’s doctored up with stuff. : )
Tahnycooks says
I have to try this pie ASAP! It looks so creamy good and I love the extra drizzle! MMmmMMMMmm….good!
Tina @ Tina's Chic Corner says
Omg, my mom is the same way with the “white stuff”! I’ve never tried cookie butter before but I want this cheesecake! Yummo. 🙂
Meghan @ Spoonful of Flour says
My boyfriend is the same way, he wont eat any white and creamy foods. Glad you came around on cheesecake though, I am still working on my boyfriend on that one! Love this cookie butter version- perfect!

You. Are. Amazing! I could kiss you for this fabulous recipe. Finally I can put my spoon away and enjoy cookie butter another way. This is getting bumped to the top of my “must make” list.
Happy Thanksgiving Pamela!
