How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe card is available below)

Melt the cookie butter. First, you’ll place the cookie butter into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, until melted and smooth.

Prepare the batter. Next, you’ll combine cake mix, dry pudding mix, hot water, vegetable oil, eggs, and melted cookie butter In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds to combine. Turn off mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Increase speed to medium-high and mix for about 2 more minutes.

Add cookies. Then, you’ll reduce the mixer speed to low and add chopped cookie pieces to the batter.

Mix just until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Bake. Then, you’ll pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

Transfer pans to preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven.

Prepare the topping. Last, you’ll completely cool the cakes and then prepare the topping.

Add cookie butter spread to a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 15-20 seconds, until melted and smooth.

Use a spoon to drizzle the melted spread over the tops of the cooled loaf cakes. Allow spread to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes and Adaptations:

  • These loaf cakes freeze very well! Simply cool completely, then wrap well with plastic wrap (I like to double-wrap) before freezing. I generally freeze the loaves without the topping, then add topping prior to serving (this helps keep the topping looking its best), but you can also freeze with the topping on.
  • Because this makes two loaves, you can make one for now and save one for later, or share them as delicious handmade holiday gifts.
