What You’ll Need

For the Cold Brew:

• 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
• 4 cups cold, filtered water

For the Cookie Butter Cream:

• 2 tbsp cookie butter (smooth and slightly melted)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup milk (whole or oat milk works best)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

To Serve:

• Ice cubes
• Crushed speculoos cookies (optional)

Pro Tips

✅ Use coarse coffee grounds—finer ones make cold brew too bitter.
✅ Warm the cookie butter slightly so it blends smoothly into the cream.
✅ Want it extra foamy? Use a milk frother or shake the cream in a sealed jar.
✅ Adjust the sweetness! Add more or less maple syrup to taste.
✅ For a fancy touch, rim the glass with crushed cookies before pouring.

Tools You’ll Need

• Large jar or pitcher
• Fine mesh strainer or coffee filter
• Whisk or milk frother
