Current Obession: Cookie Butter Latte

Indulge in this delicious treat and make your mornings special with a cookie butter latte

This year my friends decided to do a “favorite things” party. Everyone brings one thing they’re currently loving; anything from a chocolate bar to a face mask, and enough for everyone to take one home. It’s such a fun way to discover new little joys from each other.

The first thing that came to mind for me was my cookie butter latte. I’m genuinely obsessed with it. It’s the thing I think about when I go to bed and the first thing I look forward to when I wake up. It’s super simple to make, but it brings me so much joy and makes my mornings feel special.

I also love drinking it out of a cute, fun glass. Whether it’s one of my ornament glasses from Anthropologie or a handmade ceramic mug, it somehow makes the whole ritual feel even better.

So, for our “favorite things” party, I brought everyone a jar of Trader Joe’s Speculoos cookie butter, a cute new glass, and reusable straw. It was such a fun way to bring my favorite morning ritual to my favorite girls.

Here’s how I make my cookie butter latte, it’s incredibly easy but so delicious.

Ingredients:

• Trader Joe’s Speculoos cookie butter

• Espresso of choice

• Milk of choice

• (Optional) flavorless collagen or protein powder

How I Make It

1. Start with a scoop of flavorless collagen protein powder in a small glass. I’m always trying to sneak more protein into my day, and it blends seamlessly into coffee.

2. Add about ½ teaspoon of cookie butter (sometimes more, sometimes less).

3. Brew a double shot of espresso directly over the protein powder and cookie butter. I use a Nespresso machine and select the brew over ice setting.

4. Stir really well so the cookie butter and protein powder dissolve completely with the espresso.

5. Fill your favorite glass with ice and milk.

6. Pour the espresso mixture over the milk and stir.

That’s it! It’s simple, cozy, and honestly the best start to my day.
