Tips
Chill the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before frosting to help the cookies stick better and create a more dramatic presentation.
Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to mix ingredients rather than a blender to maintain cookie chunks and prevent over-mixing.
Make extra crushed cookies and store them separately to sprinkle on top for added crunch and visual appeal.

FAQ
Can I make this without the glass decoration?
Absolutely! Skip the frosting and cookie rim steps and serve the milkshake in regular glasses. The drink itself is delicious without the decorative elements.
What if I don't have Simply 5 chocolate syrup?
Any chocolate syrup will work perfectly fine. Hershey's regular syrup, homemade chocolate sauce, or even melted chocolate chips work as substitutes.
How long will leftover milkshake keep?
This is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 day. Let it soften slightly before serving again.
