We’re Crazy About Walmart’s Cookie Butter Cream Cheese

Walmart recently introduced its “outrageously delicious” take on plain ol’ cream cheese. It’s a mash-up of two already amazing spreads: cream cheese and cookie butter. Sold under the Great Value label, this Walmart cookie butter cream cheese is about to change breakfast forever.

(New to cookie butter? Allow us to enlighten your taste buds. Made from the crumbs of pureed Biscoff biscuits, cookie butter is a gingerbread-flavored paste with a consistency similar to peanut butter. It’s a staple in many European pastry recipes, but it’s also super-good spread on toast or apple slices.)

Just add this to the list of things we love about Walmart—including surprisingly chic kitchen gear and same-day grocery delivery.

How to shmear cookie butter cream cheese

With a hint of sweetness, but not so much that it overtakes the tangy cream cheese flavor, Walmart’s combo is a crave-worthy alternative to your usual go-to spreads. Shmear it on a freshly toasted bagel, add a generous layer to a graham cracker or grab the biggest spoon in the flatware drawer (no judging here) and dig into that tangy goodness.

Here are more recommended pairings:

• Top homemade Belgian waffles
• Dip fresh apple slices
• Spread on soft pumpkin cookies

Dig the cookie cream cheese flavor beyond what you can spread? Bake it up with these Cream Cheese Cutout Cookies, perfect for fall sports and social gatherings.

If cookie-infused bursts of flavor seem like a bit much on a morning English muffin, check out the other cream cheese flavors at Walmart: Honey Almond Vanilla, Blueberry Lemon Zest and Chocolate Hazelnut. An 8-ounce tub will set you back only $2!
