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 Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte

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.

Katie says
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!

Molly says
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!
★★★★★
Madeline says
so glad!! I wanted to keep it vegan because thats what the recipe is at starbucks so the butter extract might be key!
Adrianne says
This is wonderful. I will be keeping this on hand all winter long.
★★★★★
Madeline says

Cassie says
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.

Madeline says
awwww thank you so much!!! that made my day!
Megan says
I know you made this to be vegan but could I make it with regular milk? I’m not a fan of coconut milk.
Madeline says
yes! just be careful as it simmers not to over boil and then it will have a shorter shelf life in the fridge

Brittiny says
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!
★★★★★
Madeline says
best compliment! thanks Brittiny!
Kate Tomaszek says
Absolutely delicious – perfect for winter lattes! I added the syrup to my milk frother and frothed it to top my latte with.
★★★★★
Madeline says
yum thanks Kate!
Nicole says
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.

Incredible flavor depth for such simple ingredients, perfect consistency and EASY! Always on the lookout for homemade coffee syrups and this did not disappoint. Thank you for another recipe that is a breeze to follow with accessible ingredients (and substitutions!?
★★★★★
Madeline says
thank you so much Sheila! such kind words
Jess says
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?)
Madeline says
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.
Jackie G says
This is so good. We are hooked in this house!
★★★★★
Madeline says
yesss so glad thank you!!
Sarah says
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?
Madeline says
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.
Tina Bina says
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 💕
