I didn’t really plan on making these. No….they were more the result of circumstances this past Sunday morning which led me to care about nothing more than satisfying my kids. Let me explain. Last Thursday, Jorden went to visit a childhood friend in Washington, D.C. He was gone for the entire weekend, and although we are no strangers to him being gone for a few days at a time (he occasionally travels for work) there was something about knowing he was gone “on pleasure” that was different than knowing he’s gone “on business”.
What was different? Well, the best way to describe it is that, this time, I felt entitled. Entitled to make life easier for myself, to have a not-miserable four days….maybe even to have some fun?! After all, I was hearing all about the delicious foods he was eating (multiple small plate meals – my favorite!) and the fun nights out he was having…..and the last thing I wanted to be doing was eating leftovers and falling asleep on the couch at 9 pm!
And so, as the kiddos watched Henry Hugglemonster and I drank my morning coffee, I dreamed up these morning buns and surprised them with a special Sunday morning treat. And in 15 minutes flat, they went from missing Daddy to thinking maybe Mommy was pretty cool, after all. And between the three of them, they wiped the plate clean. And I was totally fine with it.

Starting the day with a cookie butter morning bun and a cup of good coffee would make mornings a lot more enjoyable. Yum! ☺

Have you received a reply on what cookie butter is? I’d like to know also!
Cathy Trochelman says
Hi ladies! Cookie butter is also known as biscoff spread. It is made from crushed biscuits and is reminiscent of gingerbread. You can find cookie butter at Trader Joe’s or biscoff spread at Target. I’m guessing it is also sold at major grocery stores. Hope this helps!!

Thank you, because I was feeling a little clueless.

If I served these to my kids while my husband was gone, we’d all be saying “daddy who?” Seriously fantastic! I am in love with cookie butter and that center creamy center is outstanding! Good for you for treating yourself!

It’s like I’ve been starting my mornings wrong my entire life! These look so freaking good.
And high five for treating yourself. We all deserve some time for ourselves like that.
Oh, and Henry Hugglemonster… I dunno. I’m trying to like it but I can’t. My son digs it, but something about it is just annoying to me. And sue me for being judgmental over a cartoon that is not geared towards adults! I’m a sucker for Phineas & Ferb and Gravity Falls though.
Ok, I’m done. Sorry. Haha

Great recipe!
Made these for my mom and she fell in love!
I used Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter, but I am sure any other cookie butter tastes just the same.
I would recommend this to anyone!!!
