Cookie Butter White Russian

Millie Pham

If you’re obsessed with cookie butter (like me), you need to try this Cookie Butter White Russian. It’s rich, creamy, and packed with that warm, spiced cookie flavor.

Basically, it tastes like a boozy Biscoff cookie dipped in cream—aka, pure heaven in a glass.

Let’s make it!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
  • 1 tbsp cookie butter (like Biscoff or Trader Joe’s Speculoos)
  • 2 oz heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
  • Ice
  • Optional garnish: Crushed Biscoff cookies, whipped cream, whole Biscoff cookie

Pro Tips

  1. Melt the cookie butter. Microwave it for about 10 seconds so it mixes smoothly into the drink.
  2. Rim the glass with crushed cookies. Dip the rim in melted cookie butter first so the crumbs stick perfectly.
  3. Chill your glass. A cold glass keeps the drink frosty and makes it feel extra fancy.
  4. Layer like a pro. Pour the cream over the back of a spoon to get those dreamy swirls.
  5. Don’t skip the garnish. The whole cookie on top makes it feel like a true dessert cocktail!

Tools You’ll Need

  • Small microwave-safe bowl (for cookie butter)
  • Cocktail shaker or mixing glass
  • Measuring jigger
  • Bar spoon
  • Short cocktail glass
  • Ice scoop

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dairy-free option: Use oat milk or coconut milk and top with coconut whipped cream.
  • Extra cookie flavor: Add ½ oz of cinnamon or vanilla syrup.
  • Boozier version: Swap vodka for bourbon or add a splash of caramel liqueur.
  • Sweeter version: Drizzle caramel sauce inside the glass before pouring the drink.

Instructions
