Ingredients for Cookie Butter Latte

This easy homemade coffee drink comes together with just four simple ingredients you probably have in your pantry. The magic happens when that cookie butter melts into the warm milk, creating the most delicious cookie-licious flavor.

What You’ll Need

• 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter spread
• 1/2 cup strong espresso or coffee (about 2 shots)
• 1 cup milk of your choice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
• Ice cubes (for iced version)
• Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Why These Ingredients Matter

The Biscoff cookie butter is absolutely essential here – it provides that signature spiced, caramelized cookie flavor that makes this drink so special. Strong espresso gives you that robust coffee base that balances the sweetness perfectly. I prefer using whole milk for the creamiest frothy steamed milk, but any milk works great. The brown sugar adds extra depth, and using ice transforms this into the perfect iced version for warmer days.

Instructions for Making Cookie Butter Latte

Learning how to make this delicious drink at home is surprisingly simple and doesn’t require any fancy equipment.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Line your mug with the cookie butter spread, using a spoon to coat the bottom and sides slightly. This creates those gorgeous swirls you see in Starbucks drinks.

Step 2: Brew your espresso or make strong coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, use 3 tablespoons of instant coffee with 1/2 cup hot water.

Step 3: In a small saucepan, heat your milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Whisk constantly to create froth, or use a milk frother if you have one.

Step 4: Pour the hot espresso into your prepared mug, then slowly add the steamed milk. The cookie butter will start melting and creating beautiful swirls.

Step 5: Stir gently to incorporate all the cookie butter, then taste and add brown sugar if you want extra sweetness.

Step 6: Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of extra cookie butter if desired. For an iced version, let everything cool, then pour over ice.

Hint: For the smoothest texture, warm your cookie butter slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before adding it to your mug. This helps it blend more easily and creates that perfect syrup consistency.

My Cookie Butter Latte Story

Last winter, I was obsessed with getting cookie butter lattes from every coffee shop I could find, trying to figure out which one made the best version. Grandma watched me spend way too much money and finally said, “Jazzy, bring me that jar of Biscoff from your pantry and let’s figure this out ourselves.”

We spent the afternoon experimenting with different ratios and techniques, and when we discovered that lining the mug first created those perfect swirls, Grandma clapped her hands with delight. “Now that’s what I call a proper cookie butter latte,” she said, taking another satisfying sip.

Now I make this cozy drink whenever I need a little comfort, and it always reminds me of that snowy afternoon when Grandma helped me master the art of homemade coffee drinks. It’s become my go-to for both busy mornings and lazy weekend afternoons, much like when she taught me to perfect my blueberry lemonade recipe.
