This Cookie Dough Milkshake is more than just a sweet treat; it’s a dessert experience! By decorating the rim of the glass with chocolate chips and chopped pecans, you’ll turn an ordinary milkshake into something extraordinary. Topped with whipped cream and an Oreo, this shake is as indulgent as it gets!
While anyone can toss ice cream and milk into a blender, taking the extra step to decorate the rim transforms this Cookie Dough Milkshake into a decadent dessert. Rolling the rim in chocolate syrup and adding toppings like chocolate chips and pecans makes each sip even more enjoyable. Plus, the little cookie dough chunks in the milkshake are a delightful bonus. Whip this up as a special treat for your kids and pair it with a kid-friendly meal like air fryer chicken tenders and fries!

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
Looking for more indulgent desserts that are as pretty to look at as they are fun to eat? I love how the brown butter glaze looks when drizzled over these. If you want to cause instant mouth-watering, just set a tray of Pecan Pie Brownies with their sticky caramel topping in front of any crowd. When serving a crowd, the sweetness and glaze over this Apple Fritter Bread adds gorgeous texture and flavor. And, of course, I’m always a sucker for Molly Bars with their drizzle of rich chocolate and crunchy crunchy goodness of Rice Krispies on top!
