The idea was chocolate chip cookie dough butter. We were looking to encompass the flavor of cookie dough in the form of a cookie butter. We combined roasted sandwich cookies, brown butter, powdered sugar, malt powder, vanilla paste and salt in the food processor. Unfortunately when we went to roll it into a thin sheet the almost cookie butter became sandy. Thankfully inspiration struck. We allowed the butter to remain sandy and folded miniature chocolate chips into the crumbs. The crumbs eat like decadent brown butter chocolate chip cookies. One failure led to a delicious creation and a new direction to improve the cookie dough butter.
