FAQs
Can I make this dairy-free?

Can I use homemade cookies?
Absolutely. Homemade chocolate sandwich cookies can be crushed and used in place of store-bought.
Can I prepare this in advance?
It’s best made fresh. However, you can pre-crush the cookies and store them in an airtight container.
How can I make it thicker?
Add more ice cubes or use less milk for a thicker, milkshake-style consistency.
Can I skip the whipped cream?
Yes, but it adds a nice finishing touch. A whipped topping alternative can be used as well.

No, it is purely for visual appeal and won’t affect the flavor.
Can I turn this into a dip instead?

Pulse them in a food processor or place in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
What toppings pair well with this drink?
Mini chocolate chips, cookie halves, or sprinkles all make great additions.
