Alright, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to tempt you from your 2016 resolutions, but you knew this was going to happen! It was only a matter of time before I posted a donut or a milkshake or something sinfully delicious! And it’s just going to keep happening … over-the-top cookie milkshakes all month long, every Friday! It’s an over-the-top twist on the regular cookies and milk! I’m starting this month out with Circus Cookie Milkshakes!

And every Friday I’ll also be including a link round-up of some of the best recipes, crafts, home decor ideas, and more that I came across during the week in order to spread the love around the interwebs a bit. But back to these cookies! I was inspired to make them by the Pantone 2016 Colors of the Year, Rose Quartz and Serenity. I LOVE them! (Of course I do.) I know the colors aren’t for everyone, but I am grateful for the change from last year’s Marsala. The Mother’s Circus Cookie bag just screams 2016 Pantone Colors of the Year. I mean, maybe that was Pantone’s inspiration? Just kidding. Anyhow, I hadn’t had a Circus Cookie in forever, so I bought a bag, and I had to use them in a recipe, so why not an over-the-top milkshake? It’s a milkshake with bits of cookie in it, plus pink frosting, topped with whipped cream, pink frosting, more cookies, and SPRINKLES!!! Ok, here’s the recipe!

Circus Cookies Milkshakes

Ingredients

Milkshake:
4 cups vanilla ice cream
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup cookies
Whipped Cream:
1 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish:
Frosting
Pink food coloring to make frosting pink
Extra cookies
Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Start by making your whipped cream. Put your bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes, then add the ingredients and whip on medium. Then add the whipped cream to a pastry bag with a fancy tip.
Next, tint your frosting pink and add it to the rim of your glasses. Then put the glasses in the freezer while you make your milkshake.
To make your milkshakes, add the milk, ice cream, and cookies to a blender and mix on high.
When done, remove your glasses from the freezer and stick circus cookies to the frosting.
Pour your milkshake, add straws, add the whipped cream, stick a couple of extra cookies on top, and finish with rainbow sprinkles!
Enjoy!
