Gather all your ingredients. Make sure your gingersnap cookies are crushed if you’re not using whole cookies.
In a food processor, add the gingersnap cookies. Pulse them until they become fine crumbs.
With the food processor running, slowly add the milk or heavy cream, coconut oil or butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
If you’re opting for cinnamon and sugar, add them now. Blend again until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or spice according to your preference.
Transfer your Easy 5 Minute Cookie Butter into a storage jar. It can be enjoyed right away or refrigerated for later use.
