Use this Sugar Cookie Latte Syrup recipe to make the Starbucks Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte at home! This sugar cookie syrup is perfect for any coffee drink.

Make your favorite starbucks holiday drink at home with this sugar cookie syrup

One of the best parts of the holiday season are the Starbucks holiday lattes, BUT they can be pretty pricey. Two years ago I started making my own holiday syrups at home in order to save money and I am SO glad that I did.

This year Starbucks debuted their sugar cookie almondmilk latte and everyone is raving about it. It is made with a sugar cookie syrup that has a subtly sweet sugar cookie taste.

I remade this latte syrup at home with better ingredients so that I could eat a little better AND save lots of money while I was at it. I love using this sugar cookie syrup in all kinds of coffee and tea drinks.

Kitchen Tools

  • Measuring spoons and measuring cups
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Sauce pan
  • Whisk
  • Glass jar for storage – I like to use a 2 cup mason jar with a plastic replacement lid

Other ways to use this sugar cookie syrup

I love to use this syrup in coffee of any kind, but I understand that not everyone is a coffee drinker so here are some other ways to use it!

  • Sweeten chai or english breakfast tea with a spoonful
  • Drizzle over the top of pancakes or waffles in place of maple syrup
  • Drizzle over vanilla bean ice cream and crumble sugar cookies over top to make a delicious sugar cookie sundae

ingredients

  • Coconut milk
  • Coconut sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond extract
  • Salt

My favorite way to make a sugar cookie latte

I love to use this sugar cookie syrup to make a sugar cookie cold foam that I pour over cold brew!

  • 8oz cold brew
  • Ice
  • 1 tbsp sugar cookie syrup
  • 1/4 cup half and half

Fill a small glass with ice and pour the cold brew into the glass. Then, using a hand whisk or milk frother with a cold foam setting, froth together the half and half and sugar cookie syrup.

Pour the sugar cookie cold foam over the top of the cold brew and enjoy!

How to make a sugar cookie latte syrup

Step 1: Simmer coconut milk and coconut sugar

To begin, pour coconut milk and coconut sugar into a sauce pan. Then, whisk together and bring to a boil.

Be careful not to let the mixture boil over out of the pan. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Stir the syrup occasionally with a whisk.

Step 2: Mix in extracts and cool completely

Then, remove from heat. Carefully whisk in the vanilla extract, almond extract and salt.

Mix until the extracts are fully mixed into the syrup.

Step 3: use in your favorite beverage

Finally, allow the mixture to cool completely and transfer to a glass jar with a lid. Store in the fridge and use in your favorite coffee drinks!

Copycat Starbucks Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk latte

Copycat Starbucks Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte

  • 2 shots of espresso
  • 2 tbsp sugar cookie syrup
  • Ice
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • Sprinkles – optional

Brew two shots of espresso or prepare a small strong cup of coffee. Stir the sugar cookie syrup into the espresso.

Fill a glass with ice and pour the sweetened espresso over the ice. Froth the almond milk in a frother that has a cold setting or use a hand whisk.

Pour frothed almond milk into the glass. Top with festive sprinkles and enjoy!

Storage

Store this syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It may harden slightly in the fridge due to the coconut milk. Run it under some warm water in the jar to loosen the sugar cookie syrup.

    This syrup is my new obsession!! Better than Starbucks by far. I love making my own flavored coffee drinks at home but hate the amount of steps/time it usually takes. Having this stuff ready to go is honestly the move and I will never go back. Thank you for the amazing recipe!

    So glad I had all these ingredients in my pantry! Definitely more almondy than Starbucks but delicious! I might try adding butter extract or mixing in a little real butter next time. Thanks for another great recipe!

    I made this yesterday and put it in my moms morning coffee. I can’t count how many times she said “ this is so good.” The almond taste leaves you wanting more. Def making this again for the holidays.

        yes! just be careful as it simmers not to over boil and then it will have a shorter shelf life in the fridge

    I tried the Starbucks Sugar Cookie latte and the flavor was weak and artificial. This homemade syrup on the other hand was neither! It’s rich and tasty, a little almond forward, but tastes like sugar cookies and is nice and sweet so a little goes a long way! Looking forward to using it again and again!

    This is so ridiculously delicious in my coffee. I like it in a oat milk latte, a cold brew coffee with cold foam oat milk or just my hot coffee I typically make in the morning on the weekdays. It’s just enough to give my coffee a little kick in the morning. If you haven’t made and you’ve been thinking about it, just go and make it.

    Oh my goodness. So, I have yet to try the Starbucks drink because they are forever out at my store. But, guys. Don’t even hesitate about making this lovely at-home syrup. Oh. My. Goodness. I took a little taste of the syrup before storing it in the fridge and I am already looking forward to my morning coffee. SO SO good.

    Hi! So excited to try this. Two questions – One, how long does this last in the fridge? Two, I’m vegan but don’t like the taste of coconut. Would this work with any other milk alternative (oat, almond, soy, etc?)

    Reply

      Posted on 11/7 at 9:06 am

      up to two weeks in the fridge! and no sorry those just don’t have a high enough fat content so you don’t get a nice caramelized syrup also I find when cooked they all change flavor. Light coconut link has a very mild coconut flavor especially when cooked with the sugar and extracts so I always use light coconut milk. You can try one of those other milks, but I worry you will be unhappy with the final result.

    I know someone already asked this! But I don’t have coconut milk on hand and want to make this tonight 😂

    Does regular milk change the flavor by a lot? And would shelf life with regular milk is only a week?

    Reply
    • Madeline says

      Posted on 11/16 at 9:54 pm

      The flavor shouldn’t change drastically. If you like normal Starbucks seasonal drinks, it should be fine. Those all use regular milk unless you switch up the order. 🙂

      It would probably be best to use it up within a week.

    Omg!!! Definitely make this! It’s so easy and super delicious. My husband is obsessed with Starbucks and this is going to save us so much money.

    Made it exactly as the recipe says except used organic dark brown sugar. It came out perfect ! I can’t wait to try this on pancakes and on ice cream.

    This syrup is next level good! And doesn’t hurt your stomach or taste fake.
    Love love love 💕
