How to Make Sugar Cookie Milkshake | Sugar Cookie Milkshake | Katie Sugar Cookie Milkshake | Snow Day Sugar Cookie Milkshake | Cookie Dough Milkshake with Ice-cream | Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake | Cookie Dough Milkshake | Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake | Sugar Cookie Milkshake: Here is your Sugar Cookie Milkshake! The two ingredients that give this the taste of a genuine sugar cookie—rather than just a plain vanilla shake—are almond extract and cream cheese; they perfectly replicate that buttery, slightly tangy flavor of the cookie dough. If you can find Lofthouse-style frosted cookies, they work especially well in this recipe.

Ingredients

3 scoops vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup whole milk

4–5 sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade), plus a few extra cookies for garnish

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract (the secret to that classic sugar cookie flavor)

1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (adds the richness of sugar cookie dough)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

A pinch of salt

Toppings (Optional)

Whipped cream

Sprinkles

Crushed sugar cookie pieces

Vanilla glaze or a drizzle of white chocolate

Sugar Cookie Milkshake Recipe

Instructions

1. Chill your glass — Place your serving glass in the freezer 5–10 minutes before serving.

2. Break the cookies — Break the sugar cookies into rough chunks. If you are using soft/frosted cookies, they will blend in easily. If you are using crisp cookies, it helps to give them a quick pulse in the blender before adding the rest of the ingredients.

3. Blend — First, pour the milk into the blender; then add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, cookie pieces, and ice cream.

4. Mix — Blend on medium speed for 30–45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. To retain a slightly textured (granular) consistency in the cookies, pulse the mixture a few times rather than blending it completely smooth.

5. Check the consistency—the cookies will naturally thicken the shake on their own. If necessary, add a little more milk to thin it out slightly.

6. Serve—pour into a chilled glass, top with whipped cream and a scattering of sprinkles, and garnish the rim of the glass with a whole sugar cookie. Serve immediately.

Tips

1. Frosted sugar cookies (such as the Lofthouse-style variety) provide extra sweetness and a creamier texture—they work wonderfully here.

2. Almond extract is essential—it gives sugar cookies their signature bakery-style flavor. Don't skip it, but be careful not to use too much.

3. Adding a small amount of cream cheese introduces a subtle tanginess, making the shake taste more like sugar cookie dough rather than just a plain vanilla shake. For a festive touch, use holiday-decorated sugar cookies and add a drop of food coloring to match the color scheme.

4. For an even more indulgent treat, substitute the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of vanilla frosting.
