Notes

1. For espresso pull 2 shots. If using espresso, you can add water or more milk to each glass to lengthen the drink if desired.

2. The sugar cookie syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It may separate and/or solidify when refrigerated. Simply scoop out what you need and heat gently in the microwave or on the stove until it returns to a liquid form.
