Copycat Sugar Cookie Cream Cold Brew
This drink is smooth, creamy, lightly sweet, and gives that cozy sugar-cookie flavour without being overpowering. The cold brew stays bold, the sugar-cookie notes stay gentle, and the creamy top ties everything together.
Ingredients (1 drink)
Sugar Cookie Syrup:
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp almond extract
1 tbsp butter
Pinch salt
Cold Brew Drink:
1 cup cold brew coffee
2–3 tbsp sugar cookie syrup
¼ cup cream or half-and-half
½ tsp vanilla extract
Ice
Instructions
1. Sugar cookie syrup
Add sugars, water, butter, and salt to a saucepan. Heat until dissolved and smooth. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla + almond. Cool.
2. Build the drink
Fill a glass with ice. Add cold brew + syrup. In a small cup, mix cream + vanilla until slightly frothy. Pour cream over coffee to create a layered top. Stir before drinking if desired.
Tips
Almond extract is KEY — it’s what gives the true “sugar cookie” taste.
Add holiday sprinkles if you want the Starbucks seasonal vibe.
