Warm 1 tbsp cookie butter in the microwave for 8–10 seconds and swirl inside the walls of your glass.

BARISTA NOTE

The richest and most decadent of the viral cookie butter coffees: melting warm cookie butter straight into the hot espresso concentrate creates an ultra-velvety speculoos syrup that marbles beautifully as it cascades over iced milk.
