Do you know if "I can't believe it's not butter" contains butter?
2 comments

That is a different question. If something is labeled "butter"it is probably butter. If it is labeled "not butter" it definitely should have a label that says "might contain butter. Now I understand the labeling and allergy concerns. Like does "almond milk" contain milk? I didn't know but it probably contains almonds or almond extract.
So cookie butter is a butter that contains milk?
Do you mean cookie batter?
I do not, but cookie batter should also be labelled if it has dairy/butter.
Sorry, what the heck is "cookie butter" (native English speaker here, in case it matters...)?
Ha, why would a non-native English speaker ever be shopping in our glorious American stores? /s

Cookie butter is sweet spread primarily made of ground up cookies and is from France/Belgium/the Netherlands.

That's pretty much irrelevant to whether you know if butter contains butter.
Is “almond butter” butter? What about “clarified butter”?
First of all, this isn't either of those. It's just plain old butter, labelled as such.

Secondly, people in general also know what those are.
