Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie “Dirt”

1. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. You want a texture similar to dirt. If you don’t have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
2. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the crushed cookies for topping.
