Every mug of coffee should feel a little extra special this time of year, and homemade almond cookie simple syrup does the trick! The combination of vanilla, almond, and butter extracts, plus white and brown sugar are sweet, full of flavor, and instantly cozy.
Combine water, sugars, and salt in the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Once the sugar crystals have dissolved, remove from the heat and cool for a bit to make sure the extract flavors are nice and strong.
1/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup white sugar, 1 pinch salt, 1 cup water
Add the extracts, stir thoroughly, and transfer to a glass bottle. The syrup is ready to use! Be sure to store in the fridge between uses.
