Easy Cookie Butter Latte
Enjoy a cozy, cafe-style cookie butter latte with a velvety espresso base, spiced speculoos flavor, and creamy frothed milk, perfect for a comforting morning at home.
Equipment
- Espresso Machine or Moka Pot
- Milk frother
- Heat-proof mugs
- Large measuring cup
Ingredients
- 2 - 4 shots espresso (depends on how strong you like it)
- 12 oz milk of choice
- 3 teaspoons cookie butter
- Tiny pinch sea salt
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Ground cinnamon, for dusting
- Warmed cookie butter, for drizzling
- Biscoff cookies, for serving
Instructions
Brew the Coffee Base
- Brew 2 to 4 shots of fresh espresso and pour them into a heat-proof cup while piping hot.
- Immediately stir in 3 teaspoons of cookie butter and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Continue stirring until the spread melts completely into the espresso, creating a smooth, glossy syrup.
Heat and Froth the Milk
- Pour 12 oz of your preferred milk into a measuring cup and microwave for 1 minute until steaming and hot.
- Use a handheld milk frother to aerate the hot milk until it develops a creamy, light texture with fine bubbles.
Assemble the Lattes
- Divide the espresso and cookie butter mixture between two mugs. Pour in the frothed milk, using a spoon to hold back the foam so the liquid fills the mug first, then spoon the foam on top.
- Top each mug with a swirl of whipped cream, a dusting of ground cinnamon, a drizzle of warmed cookie butter, and a Biscoff cookie on the side. Serve immediately.
Notes
Pro Tip: Ensure your espresso is freshly brewed and very hot when adding the cookie butter, as this heat is essential for emulsifying the fats into a smooth syrup base.
Storage Tip: You can prepare the espresso and cookie butter base in advance and store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat before adding fresh frothed milk.
Variation Tip: To make an iced version, melt the cookie butter into the hot espresso first, then pour that mixture over a glass filled with ice and top with cold milk.
