Cookies and Cream (or Cookies 'n Cream) is a variety of ice cream and milkshake based on flavoring from chocolate cookies. Cookies and Cream ice cream uses sweet cream ice cream (often vanilla) and chocolate wafer cookies of any type. The flavor is widely associated with the Oreo cookie, a kind of cookie sandwich with a sweet, white crème filling commonly used in milkshakes and other frozen desserts.
Though traditional cookies and cream ice cream is made with vanilla or sweet cream ice cream, there are variations that use chocolate, coffee or mint ice cream instead.

History
There is some debate as to who first invented and marketed Cookies 'n Cream ice cream.
- Malcolm Stogo, an ice cream consultant, claims to have created the flavor in 1976.
- John Harrison, the official taster for Dreyer's/Edy's Ice Cream, claims he invented it first for the company in 1982.
- Blue Bell Creameries claim they first mass-produced the flavor two years earlier in 1980 after an employee tasted it at a Houston ice cream parlour the year before; however, they do state "Blue Bell makes no claim to have invented it but certainly pioneered the flavor." Blue Bell Creameries applied to register the trademark "Cookies 'n Cream" in 1981.
- South Dakota State University claims the flavor was invented at the university's Dairy Plant.
- Another claimant is Steve Herrell of Massachusetts' Herrell's Ice Cream.
In 1983, Cookies 'n Cream became one of the top five best-selling flavors of ice cream.
