Iced Sugar Cookie Latte Stuffed Cookie Recipe
The new favorite Christmas coffeehouse special turned into one insane stuffed cookie...say less.
A thick vanilla bean sugar cookie filled with red and green sprinkles over a soft, from-scratch espresso cake center made with real brewed coffee and espresso powder. And tucked inside THAT? A creamy vanilla bean fudge core that gives the whole thing that sweet, creamy “latte” finish because yes, we are just that extra.
Cut one open and you get three distinct layers: pale sprinkle-filled sugar cookie, rich espresso cake, and a bright vanilla fudge center. It looks impressive, but every layer is there for a reason. The vanilla bean and sugar cookie soften the deeper coffee flavor, while the espresso keeps the finished cookie from becoming overly sweet.
The Vanilla Bean Fudge Core is completely optional, so you can make the cookie with just the espresso cake center if you want to keep things simpler. But if you want the full Iced Sugar Cookie Latte experience, that creamy vanilla center is really good.
