Cookie Lasagna

Instructions

8 ounces block of cream cheese,¾ cup powdered sugar,1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Spread half this mixture over the first layer of chocolate chip cookies into an even layer. An offset spatula works great for this.

16 ounces whipped topping
Add a second layer of chocolate chip cookies, breaking some of the cookies into smaller pieces to fill any gaps between the whole cookies.

Add the remaining cream cheese mixture to the chocolate chip cookie lasagna and spread it out into an even layer. Top with the reserved crumbled cookies and the mini chocolate chips.
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Cover the chocolate chip lasagna with a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes
Storage:
To Store: This chocolate chip cookie lasagna is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To Freeze: You can freeze this dessert tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil, for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing and serving. Note that the longer the cookies are layered with the whipped topping, the softer they will become.

Tips:
Make sure the cream cheese has softened to room temperature before beating.
If you do not want to wait for this chocolate chip cookie lasagna to soften after 4 hours or overnight, you can very quickly dip each cookie into a glass of milk before adding them to the 9×13 dish. Keep in mind that your

cookies will become even softer than if you skip this optional “dipping” step. I prefer my cookies to still have a little structure to them, so I did not do this for my chocolate chip cookie lasagna.
If you prefer making your cookies from scratch, feel free to use your favorite cookie dough recipe. Just be sure that you are making soft-batch cookies and allow them to cool completely before using them in this recipe.
