Why You’ll Love This
Cool and creamy with that signature cookies-and-cream flavor
Simple ingredients — no weird syrups or mystery powders
Totally customizable to suit your cravings
Kid-approved and coffee-free (unless you want to sneak some in)
What You’ll Need
1 cup ice cubes — This gives it that thick, frosty base
1 cup milk — Whole milk is the creamiest, but almond, oat, or coconut milk all work too
2 tbsp sugar — Optional! You can skip it if the Oreos make it sweet enough for you
½ tsp vanilla extract — Adds that classic milkshake-y warmth
5 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed — the star of the show!
Chocolate syrup, for decorating the glass
Whipped cream and extra Oreo bits, for topping (not required but highly recommended)
Instructions
1. Prep Your Blender
Make sure it’s clean and ready to go. You’ll want the blades nice and sharp to crush that ice and cookies.
2. Add the Good Stuff
Into the blender, toss:
1 cup ice
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
5 Oreo cookies (just break them in half — the blender will do the rest)
3. Blend It Up
Pop the lid on and blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Toss in a few more ice cubes or half an Oreo.
4. Dress the Glass (Optional, but Fun)
Drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside of your glass. It makes it look extra fancy, and hey — more chocolate is never a bad idea.
5. Pour, Top, and Enjoy
Pour your frappuccino into the prepared glass. Top with whipped cream, a few crushed Oreos, and maybe a whole one on the rim if you’re feeling dramatic. Sip and enjoy every sweet, cookie-filled slurp.
Tips & Tricks
Sweetness Control: Taste before adding sugar — Oreos and syrup might be enough
Chunky-style: Save a few Oreo pieces and pulse them in right at the end
Chilled milk = colder drink — especially great on hot days
Thicker texture: Just add more ice for a frostier, milkshake-like consistency
Variations
Mocha version: Add a shot of espresso or ¼ cup cold brew — it turns into an Oreo latte shake!
Minty twist: A drop of peppermint extract = instant mint chocolate cookie vibes
Vegan option: Use almond or oat milk, dairy-free whipped topping, and vegan-friendly Oreos (yep, most are!)
Double chocolate: Blend in a spoonful of cocoa powder or chocolate chips for extra richness
Final Thoughts
This Cookies and Cream Frappuccino is one of those “treat yourself” recipes that feels like a splurge, but only takes five minutes to throw together. It’s the perfect mix of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and cool — whether you’re winding down, celebrating something, or just want a better version of that drive-thru classic.
So grab a blender, crush a few cookies, and enjoy this dreamy dessert-in-a-glass. You deserve it.

You know those afternoons when the sun hits just right, the house is a little too quiet, and your sweet tooth starts whispering to you from the kitchen? That was me last Tuesday. I’d just finished photographing a batch of cookie bars (which I may or may not have sampled a few too many of), and all I could think about was something cold, creamy, and indulgent that didn’t involve me getting in the car and sitting in a drive-thru line.
So I wandered into the kitchen, spotted a sleeve of Oreos on the counter — slightly crinkled from someone (not naming names, but it wasn’t the dog) sneaking a few — and it hit me. That classic cookies-and-cream flavor I loved as a kid? Why not turn it into a frosty, dreamy drink?
Let me tell you — this Cookies and Cream Frappuccino is a hug in a glass. It’s cool, rich, sweet in that nostalgic way, and so easy to make it’s almost dangerous. No coffee shop run required. No fancy syrups. Just pantry staples, a blender, and a little moment of joy.

Basic Ingredients:
-
1 cup ice cubes
This gives your frappuccino its signature thick, slushy texture. Crushed ice blends easier, but regular cubes work just fine. -
1 cup milk
I use whole milk for maximum creaminess, but almond, oat, coconut — they all play nicely here. If your milk is cold, that’s a bonus. -
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Totally your call. Depending on your sweet tooth (and the cookies you use), you might not need this at all. -
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Just a splash for that homemade milkshake flavor. Trust me, it makes a difference. -
5 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
The star of the show. Don’t worry about perfect crumbles — the blender takes care of business.
Optional Goodies:
-
Chocolate syrup — for that coffeehouse look. Swirl it in the glass or drizzle on top.
-
Whipped cream — totally unnecessary, wildly delicious.
-
Extra crushed Oreos — because more is more when it comes to cookies.
Let’s Make a Frappuccino!
Here’s where it gets fun. You’re five minutes away from something that tastes like dessert and feels like a little personal celebration.
1. Prep Your Blender
Give it a quick rinse if it’s been sitting in the sink (guilty here). You’ll want clean blades and enough power to crush ice and cookies without a fuss.
2. Load It Up
Add these right into your blender:
-
1 cup of ice
-
1 cup of milk
-
2 tablespoons of sugar (or skip it)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla
-
5 Oreo cookies, snapped in half
No need to overthink it. Just toss and go.
3. Blend It Till Smooth
Pop that lid on and blend on high for about 30–60 seconds. You’re looking for a creamy, thick consistency — like a milkshake with a cookie soul.
Too thick? Add a splash more milk.
Too thin? Toss in a few more ice cubes — or hey, half an Oreo does wonders.
4. Decorate Your Glass (Optional, but Totally Worth It)
If you want to feel extra, drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring. It’s the kind of thing that makes this drink feel special — even if you’re sipping it in your pajamas.
5. Pour, Top, and Savor
Pour the frappuccino into your glass, top with whipped cream, crumble a cookie on top, and maybe — just maybe — balance a whole Oreo on the rim like a crown. Then take a moment. Sip slowly. Smile.
Tips & Tricks from My Kitchen
Here’s where the magic happens — those little tweaks that make this drink your own.
-
Skip the sugar if you’re using sweetened milk or just love the natural cookie sweetness.
-
Use chilled milk and cold Oreos — it helps keep the drink colder longer, especially on a hot day.
-
Blend longer for smoothness, or pulse at the end if you like cookie bits floating in there.
-
Crush the cookies ahead of time if your blender’s on the dainty side.
-
Want it thicker? Add a handful of ice or freeze your milk in ice cube trays — works like a charm!
Flavor Variations to Try
Cookies and cream is classic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t riff on it! Here are a few of my favorite twists:
☕ Mocha Madness
Add a shot of espresso or ¼ cup cold brew for a grown-up version that’s halfway between a milkshake and an iced mocha. So good for those afternoons when you need a pick-me-up but still want dessert.
🌱 Mint Chocolate Vibes
Just a drop — and I mean a drop — of peppermint extract will make it taste like a holiday cookie in drink form. Be careful though — peppermint can go from “yum” to “toothpaste” real fast.
🥥 Vegan Dream
Use oat or almond milk, skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free version, and you’re good to go! Most Oreos are accidentally vegan (a fun trivia fact to throw around).
🍫 Double Trouble
Add a spoonful of cocoa powder or toss in some chocolate chips before blending. It amps up the richness and makes it feel extra decadent.
Storing & Reheating (Well, Sort Of)
Okay, here’s the thing — this isn’t the kind of treat you make ahead and stash in the fridge. The texture will go from thick and dreamy to watery and sad if it sits too long.
But if you must…
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 hours, covered. Give it a stir or shake before drinking.
-
To revive the texture, blend with a few fresh ice cubes before serving.
-
Honestly though? Just make what you’ll drink. It’s so easy and quick, you’re better off blending it fresh.
A Little Cookie History (Because Why Not?)
If you’re like me and sometimes fall into random food rabbit holes, here’s a fun tidbit: the Oreo cookie was first introduced in 1912 — yes, over 100 years ago — and has held onto its title as America’s favorite cookie pretty tightly ever since.
There’s just something universal about that dark chocolate wafer and sweet cream combo. Kids love it. Grown-ups sneak them late at night. And now? We’re blending them into a frozen treat that hits all the right notes.
Funny how food nostalgia works — one sip of this frappuccino and I was right back at my grandma’s kitchen table, dunking cookies in milk with sticky fingers and a big grin. Isn’t it wonderful how recipes can do that?
Final Sips
If you’ve been craving a little kitchen magic — something cozy, sweet, and just a bit over the top — this Cookies and Cream Frappuccino is your sign. It’s a no-fuss, pure-comfort kind of recipe that makes everyday moments feel a little more special.
Whether you’re treating the kids after school, spoiling yourself during a movie night, or just need a reason to smile on a slow afternoon, this recipe’s here for you.
So tell me — how’d it turn out for you? Did you add espresso? Go double chocolate? Try it with coconut milk?
Leave a comment, ask a question, or just share how many cookies actually made it into the blender. I’d love to hear about it.
And if you’re anything like me… you’ll be back to make it again before the week is out. 💗
