🥛 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.

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

  • Winter holidays

📖 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.
