Sugar Free Cookie Butter made grain free and low carb!
This copycat version of Biscoff Cookie butter is sugar free and you'd never know it! Made with my Sugar Free Biscoff cookies and 2 other ingredients is all you need to make a healthier sugar free, grain free, gluten free cookie butter at home. I topped it here with a few sugar free chocolate chips but honestly they aren't needed, this stuff is pretty delish as is!
By the time you read this post my anxiousness will be over and done and I will be home. Today as I write this I'm headed to New York City to speak on a panel at the TechMunch conference on Thursday May 21. To say I'm not the least bit nervous about my first speaking engagement is a complete joke! While I am a very outgoing person, put me on a stage and having to answer questions, even though I have confidence in what I know, makes me cringe.
My worries: I will talk TOO much, I will babble, I will carry on when I should let someone else on the panel speak, I will babble, I will carry on and on and on.......get my point?
I'm a talker. So how does one who when nervous talks too much, have a clue when to stop herself? That is my worry and that is my question. Got an answer for me?
My hubby will be in the crowd taking pics and hopefully I can find him and he'll provide me a signal to cut myself off from speaking any longer. At least that's what I hope anyway. A secret look or signal that will clue me into the fact that I'm babbling. I have no idea this will work but I'm hopeful.
At least this is a small conference with about 100 or so. This will prep me for my second speaking engagement in Orlando, Florida in July for the Food and Wine conference. Will this get easier? Will I become more comfortable and less.....chatty? I have no idea. The only thing I know is that it's bringing me out of my comfort zone, from home kitchen, behind a computer as a blogger to spotlight on stage. It's terrifying!
I began to think abut what makes blogging so easy. And it is the very fact you can speak your voice and no one needs to cut you off. If they choose not to read what you've written they can just skim over it. I can be as chatty as I like in my posts and I love that.
But my greatest passion before writing is cooking obviously. That's where I shine. But in order to share the recipes I think are incredible, learning to speak my voice and advance in food photography was a must. Yes sometimes the ugliest foods are delicious but I prefer to make them look as beautiful and sexy as possible. Take this cookie butter for instance. Just a pound of blah beige color right? BUT you know the flavor, you can smell the buttery-ness and almost taste the smooth, creamy spread right through the computer screen. That's what I hope anyway through my pictures.
So I end here today with a little less anxiousness than when I began writing this post. It always relaxes me to write about things. Whether I babble too much on the panel or not, hopefully my heart, my enthusiasm and passion for food blogging will speak for itself. 🙂
Here's a quick little video for you on how easy this recipe is to make!

I was on the speakers' bureau at work for three years.
One thing that helped me a lot was having trained with and practiced in front of other members of the speakers' bureau.
Another thing: I was always speaking in front of a friendly crowd. (People much higher up get to have press conferences in front of angry crowds!!!) These were people who were friendly, and wanted to hear what I had to say, without looking for a fight.
Finally, for the groups of adults, I worked out a routine that worked for me: Ten or fifteen minutes on the topic of the day, whatever that may have been, and then take questions. That way, I knew I was talking about something of interest to at least one person. (And usually quite a few besides the one who asked.)
And don't be afraid to say "I don't know. Give me your email address and I'll get back to you."
Oh yes. Breathe.
It releases tension.
And, every time you inhale, you'll have to stop talking, and you can decide whether you want to continue or go to a new topic.

Great tips, thank you!

Can you believe I've never had a biscoff cookie? Yep. True story. This cookie butter looks amazing and I'm sure it will cure any sort of sugar craving in a healthier sort of way.

I'm so glad that you made this!! When you posted about the homemade cookies I was wondering if you could use them to make homemade Cookie Butter! I guess my question has been answered haha.

I hope the conference went well for you! This cookie butter would be a fun treat to pull out at one of my boys' sleepovers.

I hope the conference went well and you had a good time in the city! I was hoping to have made it but timing didn't line up. Next year perhaps? Just make sure you bring a batch of this to share. 🙂

Here's hoping the TechMunch conference went well for you! I've wanted to attend one of those but haven't been yet. Checking the schedule for the next one near me.
I always learn something interesting from your blog. Need to try your Biscoff copycats and make this yummy looking cookie butter!
