WHAT IS THE STARBUCKS SUGAR COOKIE LATTE?

The Starbucks Sugar Cookie Latte is a delightful drink off the seasonal menu that captures the essence of a classic sugar cookie in a cup. It typically features espresso shots combined with sweet and buttery sugar cookie-flavored syrup, steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and festive sprinkles. 

It’s a beloved holiday favorite, perfect for those looking to indulge in the cozy flavors of the season.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE SUGAR COOKIE LATTE STARBUCKS RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the Starbucks copycat drink (the exact measurements, nutrition facts and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Espresso Shots: Because every great latte starts with the perfect shot. I love blonde espresso in this Starbucks holiday drink.
• Oat Milk (or Your Milk of Choice): To give it a creamy, dairy-free twist. Can also use unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or any plant-based milk or dairy milk of choice.
• Homemade Sugar Cookie Syrup: The star of the show, imparting that sweet buttery taste. This homemade simple syrup is made using white sugar, brown sugar, almond extract, vanilla extract, and butter extract. 
• Whipped Cream: Optional, but not optional.
• Festive Sprinkles: For that festive touch. Green sprinkles or red sprinkles, or both.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Prepare your double shot of espresso.
2. Pour the espresso into a mug.
3. Heat your milk of choice using a heated milk frother or in the microwave. Oat milk will double in size and so will regular milk. Almond milk and other types of milk won’t get as frothy.
4. Pour the froth milk over the espresso. Then add your sugar cookie syrup.
5. Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and cookie crumbs if desired.
