Chips Ahoy Milkshake

🍯 Why This Recipe Works

1. Kids love it! My kids are huge fans of cookies and milkshakes, so putting them together sounds like a no-brainer. With this recipe, I can use up the last few cookies in the pack and create a drink and snack in one.
2. Minimal ingredients. With just three simple ingredients, you won't need much to make your own milkshakes at home. Minimal shopping, maximum flavor.
3. It's simple. Nothing can be simpler than making a milkshake. Just add everything to a blender and push a button. Easy and ready in just seconds.

🧾 Substitutions

Milk. If you want, you can use nondairy milk, low fat milk, or even half and half instead.

Ice cream. If you don't have vanilla ice cream you can use dairy free ice cream (like coconut based ice cream) or even vanilla frozen yogurt. I often use vanilla frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Add ½ cup of milk to the blender. Having liquid on the bottom helps to mix everything up more thoroughly.

Step 2: Add your cookies to the blender.

Step 3: Add in the vanilla ice cream.

Step 4: Add the lid.

Step 5: Blend on High until smooth.

Step 6: Pour your milkshake into a drinking glass.

Step 7: Top with whipped cream and additional garnishes.

Serve immediately and enjoy.

🍴 Recipe Tips

Consistency

You can adjust the consistency of this milkshake to your own liking by adding in more ice cream (if you want it thicker) or more milk (if you want it thinner).

Offbrand is okay!

Also, don't feel obligated to stick with the name brand version of this cookie. Off-brand cookies work just as great in this milkshake. (Tip: I like to use Aldi brand cookies.)

👩🏻‍🍳 Scaling

You can double or triple this chips ahoy milkshake recipe as needed (assuming you can fit that much in your blender). This recipe only makes enough for one tall glass, so if you're looking to make enough for a family, doubling or tripling will cut down on a lot of time by just blending it all together.
