Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, mix the cookie butter spread with the heavy whipping cream until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Layer
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until light and fluffy.
Prepare the Cookie Crumbs
Combine the crushed Biscoff cookies with melted butter, mixing until the texture is crumbly but holds together slightly.
Assemble the Shooter Cups
In small clear cups, layer the cookie crumbs, cookie butter mixture, and cheesecake filling. Repeat the layers until the cups are full, finishing with cheesecake filling on top.

Notes
Serving Tips
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the shooter cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set and enhance the flavors.
- Serve in Small Cups: Use clear shot glasses or small dessert cups for an elegant presentation.
- Garnish Just Before Serving: Add the whole Biscoff cookie and drizzle of cookie butter right before serving to keep the cookie crisp.
- Pair with Coffee or Tea: The spiced flavors of cookie butter pair beautifully with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a warm latte.
Storage Tips
- Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the creamy texture of the cheesecake layer.
- Keep Cookies Crisp: If making ahead, store the Biscoff cookies separately and add them just before serving to maintain their crunch.
