    What do you do when you have extra nutter butter cookies sitting in your pantry? You make peanut butter cookie frosting! It is a sweet and rich frosting that is packed full of crushed up nutter butter cookies! And we all know how much I love me some peanut butter. Wasting these amazing cookies would have been devastating!

    It is simple to make and only takes about 10 minutes of your precious time! You can spread or pipe it on cakes and cupcakes! In addition, you can just lick it off of a spatula like I caught my kiddos doing! Who could fault them for that? It is so versatile!

    Ingredients

    • Unsalted butter
    • Creamy peanut butter: I prefer Jif
    • Nutter butter cookies: 11.8 oz package
    • Confectioner's sugar
    • Heavy cream 

    Step by step instructions

    First, in a food processor, pulse down nutter butter cookies into a slightly coarse crumb mixture. Set that aside.

    Substitutions and variations

    • Substitute with a different flavored peanut butter cookie
    • Add in creamy peanut butter versus the cookies
    • Make it into a glaze versus a buttercream frosting
    • Add in some chocolate chips

    Frequently asked questions

    Can this frosting be stored?

    This frosting can be made 3 days in advance in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 3 months. If frozen, let thaw and put in a bowl of a stand mixer and rewhip until smooth and fluffy!

    What pairs well with this buttercream frosting?

    Peanut butter cookie frosting can be paired with almost any dessert, especially anything that has chocolate in it! This would include fudgie brownies, chocolate cakes or even my Texas Vanilla Sheet cake.

    Welcome

    About me Carrie Blaser

    Hi my name is Carrie. I am just a sassy girl from the midwest that has a sweet tooth for any type of dessert. I grew up in the kitchen and remember making my sister scrambled eggs at 8 years old. But I really fell in love with baking when I made my first Betty Crocker cake out of the box. I like to think that I have come a long way since then!
