# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • If you thought coffee and cookies were only for late-night cravings, this drink is like a dessert and a caffeine hit in one glass.
  • It makes ordinary mornings or afternoons feel like a treat without a barista or fancy equipment.
02 -
  • Once I forgot to blend the cookies completely, and the result was chunky instead of creamy, so blend well for a smooth sip.
  • Letting the coffee cool completely before pouring prevents ice melt and a watery drink — patience pays off.
03 -
  • Chilling your glasses before assembling keeps everything icy longer.
  • A drop more vanilla makes the cookies-and-cream really pop.
