Ingredients:
- 300 g cocoa-flavored cookies, finely crumbled
- 300 g milk (coconut milk used here for a twist)
- 2 tablespoons hazelnut spread or 50 g melted butter
- 10 g baking powder
Start by finely crushing the cookies into a crumb-like consistency. Mix these crumbs with either hazelnut spread or melted butter, then stir in the milk and baking powder until well combined. Pour this mixture into a greased and floured baking dish.
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the mixture for about 25-28 minutes until set and slightly golden on top.
Enjoy these Milky Cookie Squares, a wonderfully simple treat that brings new life to leftover cookies, making them impossible to resist!
