Some people put sprinkles on cookies. I put them in my coffee. Along with edible glitter, because moderation has never been the goal here. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœจ

1 tbsp dark chocolate sauce, a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, espresso, and frothed milk. Finished with Christmas sprinkles and edible glitter.

Rich chocolate, a little salt, and enough sparkle to make a regular morning feel slightly more festive. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

Dark chocolate and white chocolate are sharing the spotlight again this morning because choosing just one felt unnecessary. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

ยฝ tbsp dark chocolate sauce, ยฝ tbsp white chocolate sauce, a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, espresso, and frothed milk.

Rich, creamy, and just the right amount of chocolate to start the day. Some mornings, simple is the whole point. ๐ŸคŽ

All the Christmas cookie flavor, but make it cake. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ„

Soft vanilla sugar cookie cake with holiday sprinkles baked right in, a generous layer of cake batter buttercream, and more sprinkles on top.

Basically a Christmas sugar cookie in cake form, and I see absolutely no issue with that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

Couldnโ€™t decide between dark chocolate and white chocolate this morning, so I made that everybodyโ€™s problem. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

ยฝ tbsp dark chocolate sauce, ยฝ tbsp white chocolate sauce, a splash of vanilla extract, a little salt, espresso, and frothed milk.

Rich dark chocolate, creamy white chocolate, and just enough salt to balance everything out.

Some mornings donโ€™t require a whole lot of creativity. Just two kinds of chocolate before noon. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

Had leftover sugar cookie dough from decorating Christmas cookies, so naturally I decided to put it in cinnamon rolls. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The plan was little pieces of cookie dough throughout the filling. Instead, I accidentally mixed 200 grams of it into the whole thing. We kept going. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

Soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls with a buttery sugar cookie cinnamon filling and vanilla bean cream cheese frosting.

And now Iโ€™m thinking these might need to make an appearance on Santaโ€™s plate this year. ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿฟ

I love finding little things like this to make Christmas special for my boys. They probably wonโ€™t remember every recipe, but I hope they remember how much fun we had making them. ๐ŸคŽ

Weโ€™ve had sugar cookie, gingerbread, and all the Christmas things this week, but this morning I needed a little dark chocolate. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

ยฝ tbsp dark chocolate sauce, ยฝ tbsp maple syrup, a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and espresso, finished with frothed milk.

The maple adds just enough sweetness without taking over the chocolate, and that little pinch of salt? Sheโ€™s doing her job. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

A cozy little mocha to get this Thursday started. โ˜•๏ธ

Taking a tiny break from the Christmas cookie coffees because dark chocolate and caramel were calling my name this morning. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

ยฝ tbsp dark chocolate sauce, ยฝ tbsp caramel sauce, a little salt, and espresso.

That little pinch of salt really does something to the chocolate and caramel. ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸคŽ

Nothing complicated today. Just a really good cup of coffee, which is honestly all I was asking for. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Still making my way through the Christmas coffee menu, and today weโ€™re giving gingerbread a little maple situation. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ

No molasses in the house, so maple syrup got the job. And with dark brown sugar, caramel, warm spices, and espresso? Nobodyโ€™s filing a complaint over here. ๐Ÿ˜‚

**Hereโ€™s what went in:**
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp dark brown sugar
- ยฝ tbsp caramel sauce
- ยผ tsp vanilla bean paste
- ยผ tsp cinnamon
- โ…› tsp ground ginger
- Tiny pinch of nutmeg
- Tiny pinch of kosher salt
- 1 espresso pod
- 7 oz frothed whole milk

Stir everything together with the hot espresso until smooth, then finish with the frothed milk.

Sweet, spiced, a little salty, and very much giving Christmas morning. ๐ŸŽ„โ˜•๏ธ๐ŸคŽ

November is here, the Christmas tree is up, and apparently weโ€™re drinking cookies for breakfast now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

Made a sugar cookie latte this morning, and the little dash of cake batter extract? VERY good decision. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿช

**Hereโ€™s what went in:**

- 1 espresso pod
- 1 tbsp white chocolate sauce
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- A little unsalted butter
- ยผ tsp vanilla bean paste
- A dash of cake batter extract
- Tiny pinch of kosher salt
- 7 oz frothed whole milk

I used a little regular unsalted butter, not browned, for that buttery sugar cookie flavor. Combined everything with the espresso and finished with warm, frothed milk.

Buttery, vanilla-y, and just enough cake batter flavor to make it taste like a sugar cookie. Christmas coffee season is officially underway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ„๐ŸคŽ
