For the Latte Base

2 tbsp cookie butter (I used Biscoff spread)

First you’ll need to make 2 ounces or shots of espresso coffee. This will form the strong base of your latte.

Slowly pour in your frothed milk into the espresso mixture. Stir gently to blend all the flavors together nicely.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using cold espresso: Ensure your espresso is freshly brewed and hot. This enhances the overall flavor of the latte.
Not frothing milk enough: Froth your milk until it has a creamy texture. Insufficient frothing can lead to a less satisfying drink.
Skipping the mixing step: Mix the cookie butter with the espresso thoroughly. Skipping this step can result in clumps of cookie butter in your latte.
Overloading on toppings: While whipped cream and cookie crumbles are delicious, be mindful of the quantity. Too much can overpower the latte’s flavor.
Using low-quality ingredients: Invest in good quality cookie butter and coffee. The better the ingredients, the better your Cookie Butter Latte will taste.
