Cookie Butter Syrup is a type of coffee syrup that has distinctive notes of caramelized gingerbread and cinnamon.

What I love about this rich simple syrup is that tastes just like a Lotus Biscoff speculoos cookie. That’s because Biscoff cookie butter spread provides all the flavor in this easy 3-ingredient recipe.

The Lotus brand of speculoos cookies, known as Biscoff (biscuits + coffee), are a crunchy treat full of warming spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg that many people enjoy alongside a cup of hot coffee or tea.

Cookie Butter Syrup, has all the spicy flavor of the cookie, but is used for sweetening coffee or tea.

And let me tell you, it makes the most delicious cookie butter latte!

Sugar: To make simple syrup, I use granulated sugar. If you would like a bit more of a caramelized flavor you can use half white sugar and half brown sugar.

Water: Water is a key component in homemade simple syrup recipes, which is why I always recommend use filtered water.

If you don’t have filtered water, a Brita filter pitcher works great at removing impurities.

Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread: All the cookie butter flavor in this recipe comes from the pre-made spread. Be sure to get the creamy kind, not crunchy.

For this recipe, I always use Biscoff brand, but a lot of people love Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter spread, too.

My Pick for Cookie Butter

For cookie butter syrup with authentic Biscoff flavor, use creamy (not crunchy) Lotus Biscoff cookie butter spread.

Tips for Making Cookie Butter Syrup

  • Don’t boil syrup mixture after adding cookie butter. This may make the syrup crystalize.
  • Let the syrup cool before transferring to a jar that’s been sterilized in boiling water. Be careful; hot sugar can cause burns.
  • For thicker syrup, increase the amount of cookie butter spread to your preference.
  • To make a gooey cookie butter sauce for ice cream, double the amount of cookie butter and refrigerate the sauce over night.
