Ingredients

14 gingersnap cookies , broken into pieces
3/4 cup powdered sugar , divided
1/2 cup cookie butter (such as Biscoff)
1/4 cup butter , room temperature

Instructions

Add the ginger snap cookies to a bowl of a food processor; pulse until you have fine crumbs. Add in the cookie butter, unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar. Pulse until combined and the mixture is not crumbly when pressed between two fingers.
Using a cookie scoop, form tablespoons of the mixture, knead with your hands until it stays together; shape into 1-inch balls and roll in the remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.
Roll again in the powdered sugar if it's absorbed too much.
Serve chilled or set out 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Biscoff cookie butter. This is a spiced shortbread cookie butter spread, which has a buttery caramel flavor. It resembles the texture of peanut butter, though it’s sweeter. You can find it at most grocery stores next to the jams and nut butters.

Check the size of your cookies. I used Nabisco gingersnaps, which are 2-inches in diameter. If you're using cookies that are bigger or smaller, adjust the number you grind up or the dough won't come together properly.

Don't have a food processor? A food processor is ideal for making fine cookie crumbs and thoroughly incorporating all the ingredients, but if you don't have one, you could mash the cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs. Then place the crumbs in a large bowl with the softened cookie butter, butter, and powdered sugar, mix thoroughly with your hands or wooden spoon.
