14. TWO WORDS: COOKIE BUTTER

Cookie butter: like peanut butter, but made with cookies. Awesome, right? And you can make it using leftover cookies. It’s easy, and basically just requires blending your cookies with butter or oil. It makes a fantastic topping, spread, or a nice little snack by the spoonful.

Check out our simple recipe for homemade cookie butter.

15. GET A LITTLE DIRTY

No, not actual dirt. You can use chocolate cookie crumbs to create a “dirt” effect in your cake decorating.

Whether you’re creating a cake that looks like a potted plant or a rough and tumble scene for a kid’s birthday cake, crumbled cookies can help you attain a realistic yet delicious “dirt” effect.

16. MAKE AN ICEBOX CAKE

Icebox cakes are a vintage dessert that really ought to make a comeback. Icebox cakes often employ cookies layered with whipped cream or pudding to create fanciful creations. Because the cookies are saturated, it’s OK if they are a little stale. Make an icebox cake with your leftover cookies and give them a new (and delicious) lease on life!

17. MAKE ADORABLE MINI CHEESECAKES

Crumbled cookies make a great bottom crust for a regular-sized cheesecake, but they are also perfectly suited to creating adorable mini versions of the decadent dessert. For instance, these mini lemon cheesecakes would work well with crumbled leftover shortbread cookies or snowballs!

18. LEFTOVER COOKIES AS AN ICE CREAM MIX-IN

Make your own cold slab-style ice cream creations by mixing in coarsely chopped leftover cookies. Not only will you make delicious desserts, but you’ll also have fun doing it. This is an especially great way to entertain kids!

19. MAKE EXTRA-SPECIAL CEREAL TREATS

Trick out your Rice Krispie or other cereal treats by adding crumbled cookies! Incorporate about 1/2 cup of crumbled cookies into your next batch and you’re in for a treat. The cookies will impart a great flavor on the treats, and give them an interesting texture contrast. It’s a great way to dress up a classic and use up those leftover cookies!

20. BRING EVERYONE SOME FIGGY PUDDING

A baked pudding, such as figgy pudding, relies on bread crumbs for its structure. Why not use cookie crumbs instead, for an extra-sweet finish? It will be delicious, and a fantastic way to keep the season going just a little longer.
