- Process cookies (I used a whole box of simple mills sandwich cookies), then add melted butter and process again
- Press down into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper
- Set in the freezer
- Process or use a hand mixer to combined sour cream and cream cheese. Add remaining ingredients and mix again until smooth and silky
- Mix in half the cookie dough balls
- Pour overtop cookie base, then top with more cookie dough balls
- Freeze for 3+ hours, then slice and enjoy!!
