Ingredients You’ll Need:
Please note, full measurements are listed on the recipe card at the bottom of the recipe. Scroll to the end, or click the JUMP TO RECIPE button at the top of the page.
Cane Sugar: I found this recipe tastes best and most like Dunkin’s syrup when you use a combination of cane sugar and brown sugar, so we’ll be using both!
Brown Sugar: The brown sugar is what makes this syrup a Brown Sugar Cookie Syrup and is key to get that sweet molasses-like flavor!
Water: I recommend using purified or drinking water for this recipe rather than tap water for the best tasting homemade syrup!
Salt: I always love adding salt to my homemade syrups to really bring out the sweetness of the syrup. Flaky sea salt is my salt of choice, but feel free to use your favorite.
Vanilla Extract: The vanilla adds a bit more dimension to the syrup for an all around perfect sugar cookie flavor.
Butter Extract: The butter extract is crucial for getting that delicious and buttery flavor you’ll find in the Dunkin’ Brown Sugar Cookie Syrup. You can find this on amazon, or some grocery stores carry it in the baking/extracts/seasoning aisle.
Almond Extract: Almond extract is another negotiable flavor for sugar cookies. It gives an extra layer of sweet nuttiness that is perfect for a Homemade Dunkin’ Brown Sugar Cookie Syrup recipe!

You Can Adjust According To Your Taste: If you prefer a stronger butter flavor, add more butter extract. If you want a sweeter taste, add more sugar or more salt. For a lower sugar syrup, use monk fruit or stevia. When you make your own syrups at home, you can adjust all the ingredients to perfectly match your preference!
You Control The Batch Size: Sometimes it’s hard to commit to a whole giant bottle of store bought syrup when you’re not sure if you’ll like the flavor, or if don’t think you’ll use the entire bottle. When you make it at home, you control the amount you make, and you can make a smaller batch to ensure you’ll get through it before it goes bad!
