Peppermint Cookies and Cream Milkshake

Milkshakes are year round treats in my opinion. They take literally 5 minutes to make and there are so many flavor options. This shake is one of my all time favorite recipes as it adds a festive spin on the classic cookies and cream shake.

I love adding fun toppers to my shakes. For this one, I dipped an Oreo cookie in some melted white chocolate and decorated it with sprinkles and some M&M’s. Cute and totally edible!

Pro tip - Make sure you are using peppermint extract, not mint extract! They are not the same thing.
