The secret menu at Starbucks has a loooooot of cookie-flavored options. Going through them, I wanted to make sure that I kept it cool since summer is still in full force. The “warm sugar cookie coffee” and the “caramel snicker doodle macchiato” both sound amazing, but they can wait a while.

Today, we’re going to dive into the Cookies and Cream Frap. There are many variations on how to make this drink and some people will refer to it as the Oreo Frap instead, but one super simple recipe for it seems to stick out.

Here’s the recipe:

Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino

Substitute Regular Mocha sauce for White Mocha sauce

(Optional) Top with Regular or Chocolate Whip Cream and Cookie Crumble

Easy enough, the drink tastes like cookies and cream. It’s a good blend and the baristas seemed like they have people ask for this all the time. For some reason I expected the frap to taste really heavy, lots of chocolate can do that, but the cream aspect balances everything out wonderfully.

Overall, it’s exactly what you would expect when you ask for cookies and cream. Nothing too innovative or over the top, but spot on at what it does best. If you’re craving cookies and cream, then this will definitely hit the spot.

So, if this is something that interests you, go try it! If not, come back next week and we’ll have another item off Starbuck’s secret menu that may be more to your liking.
