Christmas Goodies Galore
With the holidays have come tons of sweets. Cookies and candy canes and tons of sweets. Maybe to much sugar. As I sit here I am tearing up during Elf. I may be sugar crashing, it’s a cute movie, but I’m not sure if it is tear worthy!
Of course, with all the cookies and candies there are bound to be some leftovers. What should you do with them all?
Minty Cookie Shake
After making my Mint Slims Peppermint Pie with Goodie Girl Cookies Mint Slims I had some left over. They are great by themselves, but I have a toddler who is always asking for ice cream and I got to thinking, why not combine them? I threw my cookies in the NutriBullet with ice cream and milk and “Viola!,” deliciousness.
Now if you are up north you probably don’t think about milkshakes in December, but down here in Miami we are having record heat. It is H-O-T, so milkshakes are just the thing. Adding a minty cookie combo just makes it 100 times better! The best part? Mint slim cookies are available all year long, so feel free to pin this recipe to save it for the summer!

December 20, 2016 at 4:50 pmWhat a positively scrumptious idea Amanda! I’ve done a cookie shake, and a minty shake, but the two together, wow! Now I just need that fab cookie company to go dairy-free, too – okay, I’m getting greedy 🙂

December 19, 2016 at 5:41 pmSounds delicious. I bet it’d work just as well using coconut based products to avoid the dairy. Thanks for the recipe.

December 20, 2016 at 9:00 amThey would be great! I started to mention it, but I don’t think the cookies I used are dairy free, but it could easily be adapted!

December 19, 2016 at 5:11 pmSo jealous of your warm weather! I think I’m just going to have to make myself a glass of this and pretend its summer. 🙂
Amanda
December 20, 2016 at 9:02 amI am actually a bit jealous of the cold…I’m not looking for freezing, but below 85 would be nice!

December 19, 2016 at 12:16 pmLooooooove the way this milkshake looks. It’s got the exact color I look for in the perfect Oreo milkshake. It wasn’t until I read your post that I realized this wasn’t made with Oreos. You could have fooled me! I can’t wait to try this out with some Thin Mints or equivalent cookie. Thanks for sharing!
Amanda
December 20, 2016 at 9:06 amI’ve never actually tried an oreo shake, I’ll have to look for the gluten free equivalent!

December 19, 2016 at 9:55 amI am just boring. Mine is still vanilla. However, once in a while I have to have a strawberry! It is 17 degrees here in Dallas, Texas. Enjoy that warm weather.
Amanda
December 20, 2016 at 9:13 amVanilla is actually my favorite, but occasionally I like to mix it up a bit!
