Until a couple years ago, I'd honestly never heard of speculoos cookies or cookie butter. Now, they both have a permanent home in my pantry.

Cookies have always been my go-to sweet treat and I love that speculoos are slightly spicy, but not too spicy. They also aren't overly sweet like many American cookies.

This also makes them a great ingredient to use in one of my favorite homemade desserts, a rich and creamy cheesecake like this Cookie Butter Cheesecake Recipe.

I really like this cookie butter cheesecake recipe because it's not overly sweet and has a ton of cookie butter taste without being too spicy.

Mr. Savvy doesn't overly care for cinnamon flavors much but still really enjoyed this cheesecake.  

I also like that this is one of the easier cheesecakes to put together but still looks impressive enough that your guests will think it took hours, making it perfect for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions.
