White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Milkshake

From classic Snickerdoodle Cookie to White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Milkshake, we’re talking make-over. And although changed in obvious ways, there’s no denying its buttery, cinnamon-y charms. A classic is a classic is a classic.

This old-fashioned New England favorite, with its crinkly top and light dusting of cinnamon sugar is a family favorite…one we’ve been making for years. And actually, it’s Luc who has put her mark on our favorite snickerdoodle – so puffy and delicious.

Written beneath our tried and true recipe in my antique copy of Joy Of Cooking Christmas Cookies, I have written a few things…6 /cookie sheet; 10 minutes; cooking with Chelsea 8/5/11 XO; and Lucy’s best cookie!! Every year when I dust off this little gem of a book, I am given this extraordinary gift. Like unwrapping a family heirloom ornament – my scribbled notes immediately transport me to those moments and memories that make my holiday special.

It’s rare that we make milkshakes at home but I couldn’t resist the decadent combination of white chocolate chip snickerdoodles and creamy vanilla ice cream with a generous splash of whole milk. Hey – it’s the holidays…

And speaking of holidays, I wanted to take a moment to share with you a great cause that is going on right now called The Great American Milk Drive. Did you know that more than 46 million Americans – including 12 million children – rely on Feeding America food bank donations each year? And that milk is one of the most requested yet least donated items? On average, clients receive the equivalent of less than 1 gallon per person per year. It’s true that Americans are generous with canned and dry goods, but many don’t think to donate milk because it’s perishable which means that many families are missing out on so many health benefits and nutrients.

The Great American Milk Drive is about delivering thousands of gallons of milk to families who might otherwise go without.

And here’s where we can all help…

The American Dairy Association and Dairy Council has launched the #GiveAGallon Milk Challenge to raise awareness about hunger and the need for milk for families in need. Each time a photo is posted on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook of a person, group, or even a pet, sporting a milk moustache with the hashtag #GiveAGallon and texting “MILK” to 80077 now through Jan. 15, 2016, ADADC will donate $1 to feeding America’s Great American Milk Drive. This will continue until $25,000 is donated.

Which means…not only is sporting a milk moustache a cool and happening look…it’s also helping a lot of folks in the process. Thanks for helping make a difference!

In true ADADC spirit, they’re hosting a party that you’re invited to!

I’m excited to share with you their invitation to join in on a Twitter party with me this Thursday, Dec. 17, from 9-10pm EST. For everyone who attends the party and uses #GiveAGallon, $1 will be donated to The Great American Milk Drive.

How awesome is that?

We’ll be sharing cooking tips, holiday recipes and ways to give back.

Oh…and about that ‘milk moustache’…I have just the thing! Look at all that yummy whipped cream…

Buon Appetito!
