Gather cookies to crush for your chocolate "potting soil dirt." No need to remove the white frosting. In fact it makes it look more like potting soil. It all crushes just fine.

I crush cookies with a rolling pin in a plastic bag. I don't even dirty a blender or food processor. Keep cookies COARSE... Do not crush to a fine powder.
