Iced Sugar Cookie Latte

An iced coffee drink that’s infused with the flavors of a sugar cookie. It’s the perfect way to start your day during the holiday season!

Starbucks recently dropped a new holiday drink and it sounded like the Christmas coffee of my dreams! It’s made with blonde espresso, almond milk, and a simple syrup with all the flavors of a sugar cookie.  

I wanted to make my own homemade version and I have to say – it turned out even better than Starbucks! That’s not even the best part though – you can make it yourslef even faster than you can get through the drive-through and you’ll save money too!

And who doesn’t want to save time and money during the holidays??

Ingredients

All the ingredients to make an iced sugar cookie latte on a white background. Almond extract, light roast coffee beans, vanilla extract, clear butter extract, almond milk, christmas sprinkles, and white granulated sugar.

  • Espresso – I use a basic De’Longhi espresso machine. If you don’t have a way to make espresso, sub 1/3 cup strongly brewed coffee.
  • Milk – Starbucks defaults to using almond milk in this latte, but feel free to use any other milk you’d prefer. 
  • Sugar – This drink is flavored with a sugar cookie simple syrup. You’ll need white granulated sugar to make it.
  • Butter Extract – I used a clear butter extract to help create the cookie flavor. Starbucks syrup does not include this, but I think it’s part of what makes the homemade version better!
  • Almond Extract – This is used as the main flavoring in Starbucks version, I reduce it in mine because I do not think sugar cookies have a strong almond flavor. 
  • Vanilla Extract – You can use any vanilla extract that you have on hand.
  • Sprinkles – Starbucks adds red and green nonpareil sprinkles for Christmas flair. You can leave them out without affecting the flavor.

Tips

  1. I think this drink is best when it is topped with whipped cream or sweet cold foam. 
  2. If you want to make this drink but don’t want to go to the trouble of making your own cookie syrup, use this store-bought version instead.
