Hi! I’m so excited to try this!

I’m a vegan, can I use vegan butter instead?

hi Paola. Can you tell me how I can make this liquid I want to add it as a ganache on a keto cake.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? If not, what can I use as a substitute since I am allergic to almonds. Also, the whole reason I want to make this is because I can’t use almond butter in recipes, and there isn’t almond butter in cookie butter, so what can I use instead? Or is the almond butter optional?

I’ve been missing cookie butter and am so excited to try this recipe! I know you posted the calories per serving, but how many servings does the recipe make in total? Whether thats in grams or tablespoons (whatever is easier), thanks!

In reply to Nance. I get you Nance! Speculoos will forever me one of my favorite flavors, takes me straight to my childhood! Regarding your question, the weight is correct actually. Think about it, a cup of almond butter weighs a lot more than one of almond flour (so if you do the math, 1 cup of almond flour is 96g and of almond butter its 240g) xo and thank you for the heads up! (I've been known to get a few things wrong at times and you guys are the best copy editors :-S!)

Hi Paola!

I love this decadent flavor! I first discovered it in Germany in Speculoos Christmas Cookies and later on Alaska Airlines and Costco as Biscoff cookies. Then I discovered Trader Joes’ Cookie Butter. I think I put on 10 lbs eating it! Then I had to swear off of all versions until now! I am so thrilled to have a version that I can eat again! You are the BEST!

Question: I had some trouble with the result being too dry. I thought I simply over cooked it not having a temperature to shoot for with a candy thermometer. Then I realized that the measurements are not the same for Almond Flour or Almond Butter on the two iterations. One of them must have a typo. I was using the metric with my kitchen scale so I’m guessing the metric needs to be updated.

1 2/3 cup almond flour
2/3 cup almond butter as needed

160 g almond flour
160 g almond butter as needed

Mine didn’t come out smooth. Can this be turned into cookies?

Thank you Sarah, how wonderful to hear!! Coconut oil isn’t any good, but have you considered lard? I know it sounds weird, but one of you guys recommended it for the snickerdoodle recipe and I’ve been doing some experimenting and it seems to work the charm (reducing the amount by 20%)… you do miss out on a bit of the taste, but so far I’ve noticed its a good sub! Once I know exactly how it works, I’ll be sure to write a post about it 😉

Hi Paola! I love your recipes. I make the waffles every week for my diabetic daughter. We even make sandwiches out of them for her to take to schoolWe love the donuts and the 15 minute pizza dough as well. Thank you so much for what you’re doing! My question is whether anyone has substituted coconut oil for the butter. Dairy hurts our tummies.
