Liquid Cookie Dough.
Imagine this: It’s a cold winter’s morning, and you hurry into the local coffee shop for a steaming-hot latte to counter the chill. The barista behind the counter asks, “Would you like a plain latte? Or would you prefer a rich and creamy ‘dessert’ latte that tastes like a warm chocolate-chip cookie, straight out of the oven?”
Which would you choose?
Is that even a question?
Who wouldn’t choose the liquid cookie dough?
What are some good latte flavor ideas?
What about a Coconut Cream Pie Latte? Or a French Toast Latte? For my dream latte, I think I’ll have to be boring and say: Chocolate Brownie Latte. You just can’t ever go wrong with chocolate.
Cookie Dough Latte
(Serves 1-2)
- 3/4 cup creamer (such as Silk) or canned coconut milk (180g)
- 3/4 cup milk of choice, or 3/4 cup more creamer or coconut milk (180g)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut brown sugar (8g)
- stevia (or more brown sugar) to taste. Amount will depend on the sweetness of the milk you use.
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules. It’s not technically a “latte” without coffee… but really, who cares?
- Optional: mini chips, whipped topping, eggless cookie dough…
Combine first six ingredients in a small pot or microwave-safe dish, stir, and heat until desired temperature is reached. Either use a coffee frother to make foam, or whisk the milk while it’s on the stove, then hold the foam back with a spoon as you pour the latte into a mug and add the foam at the very end. Garnish if desired, and enjoy!

WOW! Yum yum yum. This sounds amazing, can’t wait to try it out =D
Herp derp to the comment above, misspelling my own blog name =P
Katie, you are a girl after my own heart! I think I will be making this tonight, provided I have time. I am currently making eggplant parm for dinner. After, I’m going for a run and then it will be time for this lovely creation! I kind of want to drink my computer screen, not gonna lie. 🙂
Looks great, but can I use regular nonfat milk? I’m not vegan, and I can’t have full fat coconut milk.
You can use whatever kind of milk you want. Honestly, even the creamer isn’t necessary if you want to make it totally non-fat. It’s just to add richness.
The snow fell on Alabama last Thursday. I drank hot chocolate. I’ll have to try a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Latte when the next wintry storm passes through!
I just made this and I was kind of disappointed.. I made it exactly according to the recipe, used full-fat coconut milk and Silk vanilla soymilk. It didn’t really taste like cookie dough, just tasted like sweet milk… 🙁
How about adding a little vegan butter to it (or regular butter/butter flavoring if you’re not vegan)? Also adding some chocolate chips in there couldn’t hurt. 🙂 Sounds weird, I know, but it’s pretty much the only thing missing from the recipe.
It’s a latte with the flavor of cookie dough, not the texture. Looking at the ingredients, you should have been able to see that. It’s a latte, not cookie dough. If you wanted cookie dough, why not just make cookie dough? Or go ahead and add in some cookie dough pieces like the recipe suggests?
Why so accusing, Nicole? She merely follwed the recipe and wasn’t satified with the flavour. Erikas ideas sound fantastic, I guess it woudn’t hurt if you just experimented a bit and tried out a bunch of varieties 😉 hehe.
Annie, well said. Amanda, thank u 4 lending your thoughts & u r very right… the title is Chocolate chip Cookie dough latte…. As a reader deciding on what 2 make next…it helps me 2 know u didn’t find it tasted like cookie dough. So one has every right 2 expect that the taste would b like that of cookie dough. Please do keep posting your opinions, it helps!
This is exactly what I’m craving! So comforting – best while watching a classic chick flick!
looks delicious! can u use cream of coconut instead of coconut milk?
Yes!
I am so intrigued by that cup!! Looks delish…. 🙂
Firstly, Katie, I absolutely LOVE your website! You’re so inventive. And when I found it, I never had ANY plans to become a vegan. Now, however, I’m in the process of “cleaning house,” to get rid of my non-vegan foods so I can start fresh with all the healthy stuff.
Anyway, the biggest reason I know I can go vegan without worries (also with my husband and 2 year old daughter) is partly (largely) due to you. My whole omni family loves your chocolate chip cookie pie and your chocolate fudge pie — they’re INCREDIBLE. As long as you and your talented network of blogger friends continue to post this stuff, I won’t miss meat, cheese or decadent desserts at all. THANK YOU. 🙂
I can’t even tell you how much this made me smile. Good luck… I promise it gets so much easier as time goes by!
I love a latte that doesn’t need coffee 🙂
I made one this morning, and it was one of the best lattes I’ve ever had :). That’s probably because of my love for cookie dough, which rivals yours, Katie! I own an actual latte machine which I don’t use nearly enough, so I pulled that out for the occasion. It made the latte extra foamy and wonderful.
Wonderful recipe and once again amazing pictures. Looks awesome Katie!
I make a pumpkin pie “steamer” that is pretty amazing. I call it a steamer, because it doesn’t contain any coffee.
I am a big fan of drinking my dessert lately. It’s 17 degrees here! Eek!
I shall be trying this today! It’s hard for me to resist cookie dough in any form! 😉
My dream latte flavor is red velvet. With a dairy-free cream cheese- like whipped cream. Yum, that sounds so good. 😉
I love black Tea Lattes. I used to add vanilla sugar, but I ran out and started using vanilla extract, WOW so yummy. just a drop or 2, does the trick. Chocolate chips??? Wow great idea.
