Atole de Galleta (Cookie Atole) #AtoleWeek

If you like cookies and milk, then you are going to love this Atole de Galleta made with Galletas Marias (a very popular cookie here in Mexico).

Our second atole for #AtoleWeek is one everyone (young and old) enjoys, because who doesn't like Galletas Maria's? When I first heard of Atole de Galleta, I thought it was going to be a hot, mushy mess, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The cookies completely dissolve resulting in a creamy sweet atole that you'd never guess was made with cookies.

Traditionally Atole de Galleta is made with Galletas Maria's, but any kind of cookie can be used. My kiddies also love what I call Cookies & Cream Atole made with Oreo's. If you'd like the recipe, let me know in the comments below.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg. Maria's cookies (I use Gamesa brand) 
  • 8 cups of milk, divided
  • 1 cinnamon stick 
  • 2/3 to 1 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Break the Maria's cookies into pieces and let soak in 3 cups milk in a blender cup for 5 minutes; puree until smooth. Heat the 5 remaining cups of milk and the cinnamon stick in a 3-quart pot over medium heat until very warm. Pour in the cookie puree and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the atole has started to thicken slightly. Sweeten with desired amount of sugar. Ladle into mugs. Enjoy!
