Quick answer
What Is in a 7 Brew Cookie Butter?
Quick answer: The 7 Brew Cookie Butter is a breve made with espresso, half-and-half, toasted marshmallow, hazelnut and white chocolate. It is one of the 7 Originals, not the same drink as the Cookie Butter Cold Brew.
There are two cookie butter drinks at 7 Brew, and people mix them up a lot. The Cookie Butter Original is a creamy breve with three flavors. The Cookie Butter Cold Brew is a lighter cold brew drink on the 7 Classics menu. This recipe is for the breve version from the 7 Originals menu. A Large iced Cookie Butter has about 570 calories and about 240 mg of caffeine.
The three flavors work together to taste like a spiced cookie. Toasted marshmallow brings a warm, caramel-like sweetness. Hazelnut adds a nutty flavor, and white chocolate makes it smooth and creamy. None of the syrups are hard to find. Most grocery stores and online shops sell all three in coffee-shop style bottles.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the 7 Brew Cookie Butter Recipe
This 7 Brew Cookie Butter recipe makes one 16-ounce iced drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small. If you have no espresso machine, strong coffee or cold brew concentrate works well. Half-and-half gives you the rich breve texture. A pump from a store syrup bottle is about 1/4 ounce. Use the table below to measure each part.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Espresso | 2 shots (2 oz) | Or 1/2 cup strong coffee |
| Toasted marshmallow syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | The warm, cookie-like base |
| Hazelnut syrup | 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) | Adds a nutty note |
| White chocolate sauce | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Makes it creamy and sweet |
| Half-and-half | 3/4 cup (6 oz) | Makes it a breve |
| Ice | 1 cup | Skip for a hot drink |
| Optional topping | Whipped cream and crushed cookies | For a dessert-style finish |
Tip: Cannot find toasted marshmallow syrup? Use plain marshmallow or caramel syrup. The taste will be a little different but still close.
Steps
How to Make a 7 Brew Cookie Butter at Home
These four 7 Brew Cookie Butter recipe steps take about five minutes from start to finish. Mix the flavors into the hot espresso first so the white chocolate melts. Then add ice and cold half-and-half. Stir well and taste before you add any topping. This is the same basic order a 7 Brew Brewista uses at the stand.
1. Brew the espresso
Pull 2 shots of espresso or pour 1/2 cup of strong hot coffee into a cup.
2. Stir in the flavors
Add the toasted marshmallow, hazelnut and white chocolate and stir until smooth.
3. Add ice and half-and-half
Fill a 16 oz cup with ice, pour in the coffee mix, then top with half-and-half.
4. Finish it
Stir again and add whipped cream and crushed cookies if you want a treat.
If the drink tastes too sweet, cut the white chocolate to 1/4 ounce. If you want a stronger cookie taste, add a little more toasted marshmallow. A small pinch of cinnamon on top also makes it taste more like a cookie. For a hot version, steam or microwave the half-and-half and skip the ice. Hot cookie butter is perfect on a cold morning.
