Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Base

  • 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee

Sugar Cookie Syrup

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Milk

  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon
  • Crushed sugar cookie crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Coffee Base: Brew a strong espresso shot or a concentrated cup of your favorite coffee to build the robust base required for the Sugar Cookie Latte.
  2. Make the Sugar Cookie Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly, creating the signature sugar cookie flavor.
  3. Steam and Froth Your Milk: Warm the milk on the stove or with a milk frother, aiming for a silky, foamy texture that will blend seamlessly into your coffee.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the espresso into your favorite mug, add the sugar cookie syrup, and then stir in the steamed milk, mixing everything until creamy and smooth.
  5. Add Toppings: Finish your Sugar Cookie Latte with a generous swirl of whipped cream and, if desired, a sprinkle of cinnamon or crushed sugar cookie crumbs for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar cookie syrup to suit your desired sweetness level.
  • Froth milk properly to create a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Heat the syrup gently to avoid burning the sugar or altering flavors.
  • Customize spices to your preference – more cinnamon or nutmeg for a stronger flavor.
