Mint Cookies and Cream Shake
This cookies and cream milkshake is easy to make and a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day always brings the appearance of the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Rather than buying the artificial green colored shake this year, I thought I’d make my own St. Patrick’s Day themed shake.
No the shake isn’t green, but it tastes minty. I guess I could have made it green but I try to avoid using food coloring. I know the Shamrock shake doesn’t have Oreo cookies but I love cookies and cream shakes. To really up the cookies and cream factor, I used cookies and cream ice cream as my base, then added a few more mint Oreos to the batter, giving it a mild minty flavor.
DH was really happy when I presented him with this shake and we’ll be drinking this again on St. Patrick’s Day.

I like the shamrock sprinkles you have on your shake! where did you find those?
The sprinkles were from Michael’s. I bought one of those containers that have several different kinds of sprinkles and it was in there. I’m not actually sure if they are supposed to be Shamrock’s or just a random shape, but I thought they looked enough like Shamrock’s to work for the occasion. You might be able find shamrock shaped ones from Do It With icing. Michael’s also has a nice selection of sprinkles and decorating things.
Ooh, your shake looks so good!
Thank you!
ooh, i like this recipe! time to buy some of that ice cream and oreos. maybe i’ll try a variation with mint chip ice cream too!
Oh, mint chocolate chip ice cream is a good idea. Plus it’ll be greener.
Such a pretty shake with some of the best flavors!!
Thanks!
