Cookie butter. Even looking at those two words next to each other feels scandalously indulgent.

For this dangerously easy recipe, you need only three ingredients — cookies, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar — as well as three kitchen tools: a blender, plastic bag, and jar.
To start, pour your cookies of choice into a large Ziploc bag (any cookies you want — the sky’s the limit!) and crush them with your fists. Think whack-a-mole, except with cookies.
Pour the cookie crumbles into a blender and mix in ½ cup of vegetable oil and a little water before blending, adding additional water and blending again, if necessary.

Then, mix in your powdered sugar, a couple of tablespoons at a time, before giving the entire mixture a final blend.
By now, your cookie butter should be smooth enough to pour into a glass jar. Cap it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Et, voila! You now have your own ridiculously delicious cookie butter that you can use to top sundaes, spread on toast, or — let’s be real — eat straight up with a spoon.
