# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • This is the kind of coffeehouse treat you can whip up at home without complicated steps or equipment.
  • The combination of real cookies, cold brew, and creamy layers delivers a satisfaction that rivals any dessert latte.
02 -
  • Blending the cookies too much turns them gummy—pulsing just enough gives perfect flavor and texture.
  • Layering the milk over the coffee, not the other way around, keeps that pretty marbled look for serving.
03 -
  • Let cold brew reach fridge temperature before assembling—the drink waters down quickly with warm coffee.
  • A little patience with blending ensures perfectly incorporated cookies without gritty bits.
