Why You’ll Love this Recipe
- Save time and money – One of the best parts of the holiday season are the Starbucks holiday lattes, but they can be pretty pricey. Make Starbucks sugar cookie syrup at home so you can skip the drive through.

- Use it many different ways – This homemade syrup is not just for coffee or tea! Use it on ice cream, pancakes, and waffles as a festive flavor boost!
Other ways to use
I love to use this sugar cookie 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 – I use organic coconut milk for this recipe. You could also use sweetened condensed milk in place of the coconut milk. This will make the syrup much sweeter so I use about half of the sugar if I do that.
- Light brown sugar – You can use dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, or coconut sugar instead. Changing up the type of sugar will change the color of the syrup slightly
- Vanilla extract – In my experience, the more the merrier with vanilla extract! I have also used vanilla bean paste for this syrup instead of vanilla extract.
- Almond extract – Do not skip this! In my opinion, almond extract is what really gives it that nice cookie taste.
- Butter extract – This is not a necessary ingredient, but the butter flavoring does add to the rich sugar cookie flavor that you get from real butter. Add just a splash of this to the syrup if you have it.
- Salt – Adding just a pinch fo salt really enhances the flavor of this recipe.
sugar cookie Cold foam
I love to use this sugar cookie syrup to make a cold foam that I pour over cold brew! It is like a sweet cream, but even better!
- 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
Step 1: Simmer coconut milk and coconut sugar
To begin, pour coconut milk and light brown sugar into a small sauce pan (Image 1). Then, whisk together until the sugar dissolves and bring to a boil (Image 2).
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 (Image 3). 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, butter and salt.
Mix until the extracts are fully mixed into the syrup (Image 4).
Step 3: use in your favorite beverage
Finally, allow the mixture to cool completely and transfer to a mason jar. Store in the fridge and use in your favorite coffee drinks!
