Cookie butter cheesecake. Yes, it’s a thing. Yes, it’s easy. Yes, the recipe is LIVE! I thoroughly impressed myself with this concoction. As usual, I was inspired in Trader Joe’s. I ran over to Joe with a box of Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter Cheesecake and exclaimed, “Seriously?! Milk?! There’s milk in this?!” and then scurried off to put it back. Then I declared that I would be making my own version of Cookie Butter Cheesecake and hit the Cookie Butter aisle. Alas, here they are in all their glory. Screw you, milk!
These are so easy, guys. Scroll to bottom for the recipe.

Delicious, decadent, perfection.
I would definitely be sure to make these when you will have company or friends over. Or else, you’ll just be eating them alone and that is probably not the greatest idea you’ve ever had. Or maybe it is. That’s for you to decide. ;) xx Bianca
