In Scandinavia
In Scandinavia, cookie butter has been used to make confectionery cakes for many years. It is most often flavoured with cocoa and liquor.
In Sweden, cookie butter is the main ingredient in Dammsugare (Punsch-rolls). The buttery paste is flavoured with cocoa and punsch, wrapped in a thin sheet of marzipan and dipped in dark chocolate. The marzipan is usually coloured brightly green.
In Denmark, cookie butter is known as trøffel-masse and is used for many traditional confectionery cakes such as studenterbrød, romkugler (known as trøfler in some parts of the country) and træstammer (a bit similar to the Swedish dammsugare) on sale in most bakeries. The cookie butter is mostly flavoured with cocoa and often includes other types of crumbled cakes. It is sometimes mixed with shredded coconut, rolled oats and/or jams. For the jam, apricot or raspberry is the preferred ingredient.
