Ingredients

2 Tablespoons creamy cookie butter (see note)
2 shots (2 ounces) hot brewed espresso
⅔ cup milk of your choice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon for topping

Instructions

Place cookie butter at the bottom of a mug large enough to fit the latte (minimum 10-ounce capacity).
Brew two ounces of hot espresso in your preferred manner, whether using an espresso machine (brew it right into the mug over the cookie butter) or a stovetop moka pot (pour two ounces in the mug over the cookie butter). Let the espresso sit and "melt" the cookie butter for a minute or two as you prepare the milk.
Meanwhile, heat and froth milk and vanilla extract.
If you have a standalone frother (like an Aeroccino), you can do this all at once, making sure not to exceed the maximum liquid capacity. Do this in batches if preparing multiple lattes at once.
If you do not, heat milk over low on the stovetop until small bubbles appear around the edges of the pan. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and use a frothing wand, blend in a high-powered blender until foamed, or vigorously (and carefully) shake heated milk in a sealed jar.
Whisk/stir the espresso/cookie butter well until smooth, then pour in the frothed milk and foam. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Cookie Butter: I've made this drink with both 1 ½ and 2 Tablespoons and how much you use comes down to preference. You'll still get cookie butter flavor with the lower amount, but it will be a bit subtler. If you don't mind a little bolder flavor/sweetness, go with 2 Tablespoons. Keep in mind the cookie butter provides all the sweetness here.

Serving Suggestion: Lotus Biscoff cookies, and dunking them into the latte to soften slightly? So good.

General Tips

If your latte sits for a period of time, give it a stir before sipping to best reintegrate the ingredients.
If preparing multiple lattes at once and using an Aeroccino or similar machine to heat and froth the milk, prepare the milk for one drink at a time to avoid an overflow. One beverage will likely put you close to its maximum capacity.
