When I swung into the McDonald\u2019s drive-thru, having an infamous reputation for serving customers fast, I had to wait approximately eight minutes for the small latte.<\/p>\n<p>Were the Keebler Elves or Pillsbury Dough Boy back there whipping up a special cookie to put in it? Nevertheless, I was thrilled once I got it, as it was nice and warm. I opened it to see how the top would look, and it was interesting. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/McDonald%E2%80%99s-Cinnamon-Cookie-Latte-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald s Cinnamon Cookie Latte Top\" title=\"McDonald\u2019s Cinnamon Cookie Latte Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was bummed the drink wasn\u2019t full to the top, but seeing the cinnamon sprinkles made up for it. Seriously, sprinkle something with the sweet warm spice and I\u2019ll marry it. But next came the biggest test of all. How would it taste?<\/p>\n<p>I took a sip and got coffee. I couldn&#8217;t sense that it was a latte. There was also no essence of cinnamon. There was no flavor of cookie. I can\u2019t say I was very pleased upon first sip. However, I know McDonald\u2019s better than that. Sometimes ya gotta mix it up and swirl that sucker with a spoon. So, I did. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/McDonald%E2%80%99s-Cinnamon-Cookie-Latte-Melted.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald s Cinnamon Cookie Latte Melted\" title=\"McDonald\u2019s Cinnamon Cookie Latte Melted.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new sip was truly refreshing as it tasted more like a latte, but still no cinnamon or cookie. I feel like a Cinnamon Cookie Latte should maybe have a little cinnamon and cookie flavor, but one out of three isn\u2019t bad-ish.<\/p>\n<p>The more I sipped on it, the more I realized this was almost like a McDonald\u2019s coffee with a slight shot of an artificial sweetener. If it wants to compete with other holiday drinks, McDonald&#8217;s is going to have to spice it up&#8230;literally.??Is this \u201clatte\u201d worth it? If you\u2019re in the mood for cinnamon, no. If you\u2019re in the mood for cookies, no.
