Best 6 Bonnies Homemade Starbucks Spiced Holiday Coffee Recipes

HOLIDAY SPICE FLAT WHITE

Steps:

• Pull two shots of espresso. If possible, make them short ristretto shots for the best flavor. You can also brew ½ cup of strong coffee instead.
• Make the spice mix. Add the sugar and spices to a small bowl. Zest a tangerine (using a zester, grater, or knife) into the bowl, making sure to avoid the white layer under the orange rind. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
• Steam your milk. Use the steam wand on your espresso machine or a standalone milk steamer to produce delicate microfoam and warm milk.
• Pour the espresso into your coffee mug. Add the sugar and spice mix (holding back a small spoonful) and stir well.
• Add the steamed milk on top, spooning on a layer of microfoam at the end. Sprinkle with the rest of your spice mix and enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of the tangerine sugar (I use 1 1/2 teaspoons) with the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Place in the bottom of your coffee mug, pull a shot or two of espresso (ristretto espresso if you have the capability) over the spice mixture and swirl a couple of times, steam the milk with a microfoam and pour over the espresso without stirring directly in the center.

BONBONS

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine margarine, confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, coconut, chopped walnuts and vanilla. Stir well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until mixture has thickened enough to roll into balls. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place close together, but not touching, on cookie sheets. Freeze until hard.
• While bonbons are freezing, line a cookie sheet or flat surface with waxed paper. Combine chocolate chips and shortening in the top of a double boiler, over, not in, simmering water. Stir until melted. Using a toothpick or a fork, dip each bonbon in the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper to dry. When chocolate has hardened, store bonbons in plastic bag in the freezer.

BON BON CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the shortening and cream cheese until well blended. Stir in the flour, you may need to use your hands to help it form a dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add a couple of teaspoons of water. Cover and chill several hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
• Before rolling out the dough, dust the rolling surface heavily with confectioners' sugar. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 1x4 inch strips. Place a cherry on the end of each strip. Roll up each strip starting with the cherry. Place on prepared cookie sheets and dust with a little of the confectioners' sugar.
• Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should brown slightly. Dust again with the confectioners' sugar. Allow cookies to cool before serving, the cherries are very hot!
