Ingredients
Simple ingredients are used to make this Cookie Butter Latte Recipe!
- Espresso or Strongly Brewed Coffee: This recipe was originally created for my friends at Coffee Rendezbrew using the Guyton’s Roast. The Guyton’s Roast has flavors of butterscotch rum, cream and caramel. This roast paired perfectly with the sweet latte! If you don’t have an espresso maker at home, be sure to brew your coffee on the strong setting.
- Cookie Butter: This recipe has been tested with the Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter. Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter is also an option, although, I am not lucky enough to Trader Joe’s in my area. Speculoos Cookies also makes a cookie butter that could be used.
- Milk of Choice: I have found that whole milk and oat milk froth the best. Almond milk is a great low calorie option. Low-fat milk, soy milk or coconut milk can also be used.
- Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
- Whipped Cream (optional)
- Crushed Biscoff Cookies (optional)
Brown Sugar Simple Syrup Ingredients
- Water
- Brown Sugar: Feel free to use a flavored sugar here! I used Coffee Rendezbrew’s Butterscotch Latte Sugar to create a simple syrup for this latte and it was delicious! Find this sugar here!
Instructions
Begin by making the Brown Sugar Simple Syrup. The recipe card amounts will make enough for 3-4 lattes.
- Add water and brown sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Once sugar is dissolved, turn the heat to high to bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn heat down to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes until the syrup thickens.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
To make the Cookie Butter Latte:

Cookie Butter Latte Toppings
While this amazing drink stands on its own, it is always fun to add some fun toppings to a latte. Here are some ideas:
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top

- Add a sprinkle of warm spices such as ground nutmeg or cloves
- Swirl on some whipped cream and crushed cookies
Variations

Equipment

- Espresso Maker, Coffee Maker or Moka Pot

- Cup to steam milk
- Spoon
- Handheld Frother
Storage
Cookie Butter Lattes are best enjoyed while they are still hot. I do not recommend storing the latte. Store any extra espresso or coffee in the refrigerator. Use leftover cold coffee to make an Iced Biscoff Latte. Store the Brown Sugar Simple Syrup refrigerated in an airtight container.
Top tip
Make sure that espresso or strongly brewed coffee is very hot when you stir in the cookie butter. Stir thoroughly to allow all cookie butter to melt. The melted cookie butter should fully incorporate with the espresso and there should be no lumps.
FAQ
Steam milk without an espresso machine by microwaving the milk for 2 minutes until the milk is warm. You can also warm milk on top of the stove. Once the milk starts to bubble, the milk is warm enough for the latte. After warming the milk, use a handheld frother to make the milk light and bubbly.
Use Brown Sugar Simple Syrup to sweeten tea or coffee drinks. You can also use the simple syrup in cocktails such as an Old Fashioned. Or, use it on top of ice cream!
To make an Iced Cookie Butter Latte, combine the cookie butter with the espresso or strongly brewed coffee. Stir together the milk and the Brown Sugar Simple Syrup. Add ice cubes to a tall glass. Pour espresso over ice. Add milk over top. Top with whipped cream and crushed cookies. Enjoy!
Yes, you can use cold brew coffee to make an Iced Cookie Butter Latte. Make the cold brew ahead of time. Add all latte ingredients to a blender or use an immersion blender to combine ingredients. This will result in a cold and creamy coffee drink!
This Cookie Butter Latte has 2 shots of espresso in it. If you are using strongly brewed coffee, add more coffee to the drink for a caffeine boost.
