Bake the sugar cookie recipe that inspired the new holiday drink

In celebration of National Cookie Day on Dec. 4, Starbucks is sharing the sugar cookie recipe that inspired the newest beverage to join the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2021/cozy-on-in-with-starbucks-holiday-beverages-and-festive-food/">holiday menu</a>: the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte. The recipe comes from the kitchen of Rosalyn Batingan, a member of the Starbucks beverage development team who started with a traditional spritz recipe and added hints of vanilla and almond flavor to create the perfect sugar cookie. The recipe is simple with few ingredients but packs a punch of holiday nostalgia. Learn more about Batingan and get the recipe <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2021/starbucks-newest-holiday-drink-iced-sugar-cookie-almondmilk-latte/">here</a>.
