Cookies and Cream

The other day I went out to get myself a nice treat and when I got my ice cream cup, the poor amount of cookie crumbs and pieces was disappointing. There is no such thing as "too many cookie crumbs"! Which is why I am sharing with you a good and cookie-monster approved homemade recipe for your next cookies and cream ice cream craving! Just follow the instructions by Southern Living and enjoy.

  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
