Cookie Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches {Guest Recipe from Cookin' For the Seven Dwarfs}

I have been so excited to share this one with you all for my Birthday Week!  Lorraine from Cookin' For the Seven Dwarfs is well aware of my love for and obsession with cookie butter. ;) (As most of you all are probably aware of as well...)  My chin about hit the floor when I opened my email from her for her guest recipe post, and I saw this staring at me first thing...

Hello Everyone! I'm Lorraine from Cookin' For the Seven Dwarfs. I'm a library specialist by day and by night and on my days off you'll find me in the kitchen cooking up some new creations for the Dwarfs (Aka: my dad and 6 brothers!).

 I'm so excited to be guest posting here on Frugal Foodie Mama today! I know Carrie loves Cookie Butter probably just as much as I do, so in celebration of her birthday week, I made these yummy Cookie Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches! 

Head on over to Cookin' for the Seven Dwarfs for the full recipe. I hope to see you there! A big Happy (early) Birthday to you, Carrie, and thank you for letting me share a recipe today! :)

A Little Recap of Cookie Butter Week...

I don't know about you all, but I had a blast with Cookie Butter Week last week! :) I was happy to share my mild obsession with cookie butter with my other fellow addicts, and to introduce my readers who are cookie butter virgins to all the fabulous goodies you can make with it.  Hopefully, this past week has inspired a few of you who haven't jumped on the cookie butter bandwagon yet to go out and pick up your very first jar.

I hope you all enjoyed Cookie Butter Week!  Stay tuned for next week- all seven days will be dedicated to all things ice cream! :)

Cookie Butter Coconut Haystack Cookies

Cookie Butter Week is definitely in full swing on the blog! :) There is just so much cookie butter goodness I could scream. 

I was so inspired after putting together my recipe round-up posts for the week, that I came up with a handful of my own delicious recipes using cookie butter.  I really love the Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies from Six Sisters' Stuff and decided to try my own spin on their cookies using cookie butter instead and adding in some coconut (and also making a smaller batch because their recipe makes a TON of cookies- Great for summer family get-togethers, friends!)

Cookie Butter Coconut Haystacks

by Frugal Foodie Mama

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

6048593

Ingredients (12 generous sized cookies)

• 2/3 cup corn syrup
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 2/3 cup cookie butter
• dash of salt
• 1/2 tsp coconut extract
• 4 cups of cornflakes
• 1 cup toasted coconut

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the cornflakes and toasted coconut. (To toast the coconut, spread the coconut on a lined baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for about 5-10 minutes. Stir halfway through the baking time & check it often because it can burn easily.) Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, heat together the corn syrup, white chocolate chips, and cookie butter. Once melted down and heated together, allow it to simmer and bubble slightly for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and coconut extract.

Immediately pour the heated mixture over the cornflake/coconut mixture in the large bowl and mix to coat thoroughly and evenly.

It should be cool enough to handle after a few minutes.

Lay out a sheet of waxed paper and using your hands, form the cookie mixture into generous "stacks" and allow them to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
