    🥛 What is a Sugar Cookie Milk?

    Sugar cookie milk is an easy to make flavored milk that is a combination of sugar cookie syrup and the milk of your choice. The resulting drink is rich, creamy and tastes like a liquid sugar cookie.

    Flavored milks like this one are super easy to make. You can have a whole range of different flavors like cinnamon milk or vanilla milk.

    Here are just a few of the reasons why you will definitely love this recipe:

    • It’s simple. You only need two ingredients for this one. You can certainly have it stirred up in just a few minutes.
    • Packed with holiday flavor. The sweet, buttery flavor of sugar cookies melted into milk is basically like drinking the holidays.
    • A perfect treat. Adults and kids are sure to love this flavored milk. It has just the right amount of sweet creaminess for everyone.

    ⭐ When to Make This Drink

    This drink is perfect for serving at many different times including:

    • New Year’s Eve
    • A sweet treat
    • Brunch

    📖 Variations

    If you need flavor variations or ingredient substitutions, then check these out:

    • Make it dairy-free. Use a dairy-free alternative to regular milk such as oat milk, soy milk or almond milk. Be sure to use a non-flavored version.
    • Change up your milk type. We prefer 2% milk and that’s what we used in the recipe below. However, you can use whole milk, reduced fat milk or anything you like.
    • Adjust the flavor. You can ramp up the sweet flavor by adding a little more sugar cookie simple syrup or dial it back by adding less.

    🥄 Equipment

    • Highball Glass
    • jigger
    • Bar Spoon
    • cocktail shaker (optional)
    • Hawthorne strainer (optional)

    📋 Ingredients

    • 2 oz Sugar Cookie Simple Syrup – make your own with 1 teaspoon vanilla, ½ butter extract, ¼ almond extract, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water. Or, you can make this go faster and use store-bought.
