The holidays are right around the corner, which means it's nearly time to break out your favorite cookie recipe and get to baking. But if you're not super keen on making up some dough just yet, this beloved Starbucks Secret Menu drink will scratch that itch without ever making you pre-heat your oven.
The recipe for the Christmas Cookie Frappuccino has been circulating around the internet for years, but that simply means it is just that good! It's attributed to someone called Eric M on the Starbucks Secret Menu website, so everybody say thank you to him! Before we get into specifics, let us be clear here: This drink is not on the actual holiday menu, it is a secret menu drink. Please, please do not try to order it by name!! Instead, be ready to spell out all the directions and wait longer for your drink and pay for all the additions. And then say thank you! Which you should be doing anyway!
Now for the fun part! Here's how you order this drink. You start with a creme base Frappuccino, and then ask for Peppermint Syrup (one pump for a tall, one-and-a-half pumps for a grande, and two pumps for a venti). Then ask for Toffee Nut syrup (same pump ratio as the peppermint). You'll then get it topped with whipped cream and a raw sugar packet. It is a LOT but I respect it! You can also add caramel like the lovely YouTuber Maritza Juarez did in the video above. Go forth, politely order your drink, and get in the Christmas spirit!!!
