Sometimes you just need your coffee to double as dessert, and that’s exactly what this s’mores cookie butter latte delivers. Perfect for when you’re craving a sweet and indulgent treat with a caffeine boost. If cookies weren’t enough, adding marshmallow and chocolate syrup to this coffee makes it even better!

The best thing about this iced latte is that it has a delicious s’mores cold foam, and it’s super easy to make.

Here’s how to make this incredible s’mores cookie butter latte at home!

What is Cookie Butter?

Cookie butter is a creamy, spiced spread made from crushed cookies, sugar, and oil, basically cookies in spreadable form. It first became wildly popular thanks to Lotus Biscoff spread, which is made from caramelized Biscoff cookies. Trader Joe’s also helped make it mainstream in the U.S. with their version called Speculoos Cookie Butter, which is what I grew up with.

You can technically make cookie butter out of just about any cookie, not just caramel ones. Classic spiced speculoos and Biscoff give you that signature caramel-cinnamon flavor, but chocolate chip, gingersnaps, or even Oreos can all be turned into cookie butter, too.

If you don’t have access to the name brands, don’t worry, there are plenty of off-brand cookie butters available at local grocery stores and international markets. Many of them taste just as good and can be used in the exact same way.

The most popular way to eat cookie butter is on toast, but it’s also amazing swirled into oatmeal, baked into desserts, or (my favorite) made into drinks!

What is a S’mores Cookie Butter Latte?

A s’mores cookie butter latte is basically dessert in a drink. My version starts with a classic iced latte with creamy cookie butter milk topped with a s’mores-inspired cold foam. The foam is made of marshmallow fluff and chocolate syrup that tastes just like melted s’mores in cream form.

The cookie butter pairs perfectly with marshmallow and chocolate (it’s hard for it not to taste good). Toasted marshmallows already have a slight caramel flavor to them, so the caramel flavor of the cookies blends in literally perfectly. The coffee gives it a slight bitter edge that rounds out the sweetness, too.

It’s definitely dessert-y, but it’s so good.

What Does a S’mores Cookie Butter Latte Taste Like?

This latte tastes like a s’more you can drink! The cookie butter mixed into the milk gives a toasty, caramelized sweetness that’s similar to graham crackers. So even if you’ve had s’mores, marshmallow with chocolate chip cookies, or a gooey s’mores dip, this flavor will feel familiar.

It’s super nostalgic, especially if you grew up camping! Just with a creative cookie twist.

S’mores Cookie Butter Latte: Ingredients you’ll Need

• 1 tbsp marshmallow fluff
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 2 tsp chocolate syrup
• ½ tbsp cookie butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup ice
• 1-2 shots of espresso
• 1 Biscoff cookie (for garnish)

How to Make a S’mores Cookie Butter Latte

1. Add marshmallow fluff, chocolate syrup, heavy cream, and milk to a separate cup. Whip for 10 – 15 seconds using a handheld frother until light and fluffy but pourable. Make sure the fluff is well-combined.
2. Brew 1-2 shots of espresso using a machine or manual method. You can also use instant espresso powder or a moka pot as a replacement.
3. Blend or stir cookie butter into milk until well combined. You can also leave it semi-blended if you want additional texture. Melt the cookie butter into a little bit of warm milk to make it easier.
4. Add ice, cookie butter milk, and espresso into a separate cup. Then, top with the s’mores cold foam and garnish with a Biscoff cookie or cookie crumbles.
5. Mix and enjoy!

How to Serve Your S’mores Cookie Butter Latte

My favorite part of making drinks is the presentation. I’m a firm believer that if a drink looks good, it will help it taste better (unless, you know, the drink is bad, haha).

This recipe is structured with the end look in mind. If you follow this recipe, you should have a three-layered iced latte that looks Instagram-worthy! If you want this hot, I recommend whipping the cream until it becomes whipped cream. Then topping your hot latte with some marshmallows, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a little cookie!

For garnish, crushed Biscoff cookies, graham cracker crumbs, or even mini toasted marshmallows will make the drink super appealing. Serve it in a clear glass if you can, so you can see the layers of coffee, milk, and fluffy topping.

Tips for the Best S’mores Cookie Butter Latte

• Toast Marshmallows/Fluff: If you want that classic caramelized marshmallow taste, toast the marshmallow fluff or marshmallows before adding them to your cold foam. You’ll get a hint of bitterness that’s so good.
• Add cookie crumbles to the milk: For some crunchy bits, add the cookie crumbles into the milk or blend them directly into the drink. It’s kind of like the Starbucks cookie crumbles topping.
• Melt cookie butter: Warm a little bit of milk and melt the cookie butter into it before adding it to the rest of the cold milk. This makes it mix much easier than mixing it straight into cold milk.
• Pour the espresso into milk first: If you don’t care about layers, you can mix the espresso into the milk so it doesn’t dilute the drink (if you poured the coffee directly onto ice).

Substitutions and Variations

• Cocoa powder vs chocolate syrup: If you don’t have chocolate syrup, you can substitute it with cocoa powder and sugar.
• Cookie butter replacement: If you don’t have cookie butter, you can always make your own by blending Biscoff cookies with a little milk. Or, use the cookie itself in the drink. You can also use other types of cookies or cookie spreads, but it may change the flavor slightly.
• Dairy-free: Lactose-intolerant or vegan? You can swap the heavy cream for a vegan alternative and the milk for your favorite plant-based alternative. I like using oat milk since it’s creamier!
• Marshmallow fluff alternative: If you don’t have marshmallow fluff, melt regular marshmallows with a splash of cream or milk. It won’t be exactly the same texture, but it still works for the cream topping. You can also use marshmallow syrup or make your own!
• Add flavors: Add caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, brown sugar, etc. to change up the flavor! Although this drink has so much sweetness already, it is more if you want to enhance that flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cookie butter taste like peanut butter?
Not exactly. Cookie butter has a sweet, spiced flavor similar to graham crackers, with hints of caramel and cinnamon. It’s creamy like peanut butter, but the taste is more dessert-like and less nutty.

Can I make this drink hot instead of iced?
Yes! Simply steam your milk with the cookie butter mixed in, then top your hot latte with the s’mores cold foam and cocoa powder. I recommend making s’mores whipped cream instead of keeping the cold foam soft.

Do I need espresso?

Nope! You can use instant espresso powder, cold brew coffee concentrate, or double-strength brewed coffee instead of espresso. Honestly, any strong, concentrated coffee will work.
