Notes

  • Cookie Suggestions: My favorite cookies to use are speculoos or Lotus Biscoff cookies. These cookies work perfectly and I recommend using them if you can find them. If you cannot find them you can use any gingersnap or molasses cookie.
  • You may need to add a bit more milk or adjust the spices to your personal taste. I like to start out with the recipe above, blend, then adjust if needed. Depending on the cookie you use you may need a bit more or less milk.
