   Some ice cream makers will require you to add salt and ice into the drum, while others will require you to freeze the mixing bowl in the freezer for several hours.

   Stir with a spoon or whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

   Crumble the cookies with your fingers. , Locate the mixer bowl of your ice cream maker and fill it with your mixture.

   If you do not have an ice cream maker, simply pour your mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and place it into the freezer.
