Almondlatte is the het ship between Almond Cookie and Latte Cookie from the Cookie Run fandom.
Canon[]
Though the two initially got off to a rocky start due to Almond's dislike of wizards and his treatment of Latte being impolite at first, the two became friends after working together with Cream Puff Cookie to fight off a dragon attacking their city and light the beacons that signaled nearby kingdoms to come to their aid. Now, they hold a mutual respect for each other, and are helping re-instate Earthbread's Cookie Alliance.
Light the Beacons![]
Almond hears of an incident in a bookstore where some tomes came to life and began to attack those shopping, and so he stops by the bookstore to try and neutralize the threat. However, upon arriving, he learns that Latte has already dissolved the situation by de-animating the books. He gets information on the situation from Cream Puff, who was there, and sets off to find Latte.
The following day, an accident while Latte is training Cream Puff causes a rift to open in the sky, out of which a monster comes. Almond sees the threat and comes to help. Latte, however, is not happy to see him, and it's revealed that he's been bothering her since she started work as he worries her magic could be dangerous. Latte defends herself against his accusations, asserting that she had nothing to do with the monster appearing, so Almond assumes that it must have been Cream Puff and takes her into custody.
Cream Puff is put on trial the next day, but before she can receive her verdict, the rift expands and more monsters come out. After discussing what to do, everyone agrees to light the beacons set up around the city to signal to the Parfaedian League that they need help. A juror assigns Cream Puff this task, but after Almond objects that it's too dangerous for anyone to go on their own, he and Latte say that they'll accompany her.
They begin to climb the mountain which has the beacon at its summit. However, before they can reach the summit, the three are hit by an avalanche and lose their supplies. Cream Puff feels responsible, but Almond and Latte reassure her that it wasn't her fault. Latte is confused by Almond's behavior, as he's being kind to Cream Puff now, but had forced her to answer to a jury for an accident before. He, however, says that he was only following protocol, and that he would have stopped the jury if they had become unreasonable. Latte is pleased with his answer.
They continue to scale up the mountain, faster now without their supplies weighing them down. They reach the beacon, but before they can light it, a dragon appears and begins to attack them. They take cover after realizing that their spells have no effect on it. Latte constructs a plan to deal with the dragon, which Almond agrees with, and the three split up to do their duties. Almond and Latte are hurt by the dragon, but with their encouraging words, Cream Puff is able to gather her strength and defeat the dragon. The three promise to work together to continue defending the city from danger from there on out.
On a Graduation Day[]
Some time after the events of Light the Beacons, Almond visits the Magic Institute to attend Cream Puff's graduation ceremony. He talks to her and extends his congratulations, giving her flowers, but she leaves to take pictures with her friends soon after.
Before Almond is put into the uncomfortable situation of having nobody to talk to, Latte walks up to him. She teases him for saying that he was just there to keep an eye on the wizard-folk, as he's smiling, and it's evident that he's proud of her. Latte continues to joke that if he stopped drinking such bitter coffee all the time and instead added some milk to it, it would help him soften up a little. They slip into easy conversation, hardly noticing anyone going by.
Cream Puff comes back and asks if the three of them can take a picture together. Almond tries to get away, but Latte makes him stay and they end up taking the picture. It's stated that Almond is partial to this particular picture, and always keeps it pinned in the case files that he's working on.
Quotes[]
- Latte – “Well, well... If it isn't the detective who's been pestering me since my first day at work. What a 'pleasant' surprise!”
- Almond – “ 'Well, well' indeed. Miss Latte Cookie, I presume? Is there ever a quiet day within these walls?”
- — Light the Beacons!
- Latte – “OK, detective. We're on the same team now. That means that I would appreciate it if neither of us gets arrested today.”
- Almond – “...No guarantees, ma'am. It's my job to prevent accidents from happening.”
- Latte – “Do you understand what sarcasm is...?”
- — Light the Beacons!
- Latte – “Oh? And you're saying all that even after you made Cream Puff Cookie answer to that stuffy Council?”
- Almond – “I'm only following orders, ma'am. Just like I said, it's important to learn how to take responsibility. I would've stopped them if they became... unreasonable.”
- Latte – “Is that so...!”
- — Light the Beacons!
- Almond – “So, it IS true! You wizards really CAN fly on your staves!”
- Latte – “Not sharing arcane secrets with detectives, sir!”
- — Light the Beacons!
- Latte – “I'm just saying! Maybe you should stop drinking bitter coffee all the time and add some milk for a change? Would certainly add some softness to you!”
- Almond – “I drink coffee because I need caffeine, not softness... But, yes. Perhaps a cup of latte once in a while will be nice.”
- — On a Graduation Day
- “It was clear to every single passing Cookie that the two looked like good friends, but the said Cookies had no clue and were too absorbed in their talk.”
- — On a Graduation Day
- “Many more pictures were taken throughout the years, but it seems that Almond Cookie is particularly fond of this picture, as he has carefully pinned this happy picture in his case files that he always carried around.”

Fanon[]
Almondlatte is a relatively popular ship within the Cookie Run fandom. People began to call attention to them after the release of the Beacons of Unity update to Cookie Run: Kingdom, where they first interacted. Fans like them for their dynamic and their found family-like relationship with Cream Puff; along with Almond's daughter, Walnut Cookie, many fans like to portray the four of them as a makeshift family. However, it is sometimes overshadowed within the community by Almondfort, another popular ship for Almond, which has been around for a longer period of time.
On Archive of Our Own, the ship currently has a little over 90 works. Many works like to depict them alongside Espresseleine, most likely because Espresso Cookie and Latte being related is a very popular headcanon among fans. Additionally, they are also sometimes written in a polyamorous relationship with Rougefort Cookie.
