This Cookie Butter Latte is a cozy, coffeehouse-style drink that tastes like a warm hug in a mug. It’s made with espresso, steamed milk, and a homemade Biscoff cookie butter syrup that captures the flavor of those famous Lotus Biscoff cookies.
I first had Biscoff cookies on an airplane. You know those little two-packs they hand out with coffee? The flavor completely hooked me. Sweet, caramelized, and gently spiced, they were perfect with coffee.
When I later found cookie butter spread (basically those cookies blended into a creamy, peanut butter-like spread), I knew I had to turn it into a syrup for coffee.
That homemade syrup became the base for this latte, and let me tell you, it’s pure bliss. To make it even better, I always add whipped cream and crushed cookies on top. It’s simple, cozy, and absolutely irresistible.

Ingredient Notes
Cookie Butter Syrup
This syrup gives the latte its signature taste. It is made with real Biscoff cookie butter spread, which melts into a sweet, spiced caramel flavor. You can make it from scratch using my Homemade Cookie Butter Syrup recipe.
Espresso
Two ounces of freshly brewed espresso work perfectly here. If you do not have an espresso machine, use a moka pot or brew strong coffee in a French press. The deep, roasted flavor balances the sweetness of the syrup.
Milk
Whole milk makes the creamiest latte, but oat, almond, or soy milk also work well. Oat milk pairs especially nicely with the cookie butter flavor.
Toppings
Whipped cream and crushed cookies make this drink extra indulgent and add a little crunch on top. Totally optional, but highly recommended.
What Biscoff Cookie Butter Tastes Like
If you have never had Biscoff cookies or cookie butter, the flavor is hard to describe until you try it. It is sweet with warm notes of caramel, brown sugar, and spice, almost like gingerbread but more delicate.
The cookie butter spread takes all that flavor and turns it into a creamy, spoonable version that is completely addictive. It is the perfect match for coffee.
How to Make a Cookie Butter Latte
Detailed recipe and instructions are in recipe card at bottom of post.
- Brew the espresso. Make two ounces (about two shots) of espresso or strong coffee.
- Warm the milk. Heat milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until it reaches about 130°F to 150°F. This is the ideal range for steamed milk that is hot but not scalded.
- Froth the milk. Use a handheld frother or steam wand to create a light layer of foam. For non-dairy milk, froth a little longer to get a similar texture.
- Add the syrup and espresso. Pour your cookie butter syrup into a mug and stir in the espresso until smooth.
- Add the milk. Pour in the steamed milk and spoon foam on top.
- Top and serve. Add whipped cream and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies for a perfect finishing touch.
Recipe Notes
- To make an iced cookie butter latte, skip the frothing step and pour everything over ice
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup
- Store leftover syrup in the refrigerator and reheat before using
Serving Tip: For that extra coffee shop touch, top your Biscoff latte with whipped cream, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of cookie butter spread that’s been warmed up into a pourable sauce.
