Gingersnap Cookie Milkshakes



Here is something a little different for a taste of Christmas. It’s not cranberries, pumpkin pie, cinnamon or peppermint, or even sugar cookies… but gingersnaps. Our Udderly Vanilla would be perfect in this recipe. 
I love this time of year when we gather at holiday festivities, share family recipes, toast the New Year and celebrate being together. Not to mention all the delicious in-season ingredients that keep me inspired to cook and bake all day! Now, let’s talk about dessert.  
When entertaining during the holidays, I like to change up the dessert course by serving these mini gingersnap cookie milkshakes. They could be in addition to or in place of the traditional cookie platter or pumpkin pie. The best part of these? They take little time to prepare, and all the ingredients are likely already in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2  teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 tablespoon molasses

Cookie Rim
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
  • 10-15 small gingersnap cookies, crumbled




Serve in little glasses with a cookie crumb-coated rim, drop in a colorful straw and you’ve got yourself a festive treat. I can guarantee the kids, (little and big) will go crazy…I mean, who wouldn’t want a glass of this?
