How to Make It
Follow these simple steps to create your Cookie Butter Latte:
Brew
Brew your espresso shots and pour them into a warm mug. If you don’t have an espresso machine, brew 1/2 cup of very strong coffee instead.
Combine
Add the biscoff cookie butter and vanilla extract to the hot espresso. Using a small whisk or fork, stir vigorously until the cookie butter is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Heat
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, heat it in a microwave-safe jar for 60-90 seconds. Froth the milk using your preferred method until creamy and foamy.
Pour
Pour the frothed milk into the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon initially, then spooning the foam on top. Dust with cinnamon and crumbled cookie if desired.
Serve
Serve immediately while hot. If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey to taste before adding the milk.
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, as it affects texture once thawed.
Reheat: Warm in a microwave for 30-45 seconds.
