Notes
I made this for years with mint Oreos before going gluten-free so if you want to make it gluten-free there are several brands of cookies that work. I just haven't been able to find any that are mint and they are often a different size package than Oreos so you may need to do some math to figure out exactly how many gluten-free cookies to use based on your size of package.
