Cookie Dough Butter

You know that moment, often mid-day, when you just want a little something sweet, but don't want to ruin your good eating habits, or cause a crash later?  Well I have that moment almost every day, and this cookie dough butter is just the fix!

Kerrygold Irish Butter is the key ingredient in this.  This butter is so special because it is made from cows that are pasture fed, which means they eat only grass and get plenty of sunshine.  It's full of many vitamins, in addition to the omega 3's and 6's that are at an optimal ratio of 1:1.  That makes this afternoon snack a perfect one!

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup nut butter (I've only tried cashew butter, peanut butter and sun butter, but it should work with almond, or macadamia butter too).

- 1/2 cup Kerrygold Butter, browned

- 3 tablespoons coconut flour

- 2 to 3 tablespoons raw honey, to taste

- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

- dash of nutmeg

- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- 3 tablespoons good quality mini chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Brown the butter (like this).

2. In a medium sized bowl add the melted browned butter, nut butter, and coconut flour, then stir.

3. Next, add the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, and vanilla, then stir.

4.  Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 1 hour.

5. Take out of fridge and add the chocolate chips.

6. Store in an air tight container, and enjoy by the spoonful!
