How to Make Cookie Delight

  1. PREP. Soften Cookie Dough on counter (dough at room temp will make it easier to spread). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Now it’s time to layer!
  2. COOKIE. When dough is soft, gently spread into greased 9×13 baking pan. Bake for 14-18 minutes or until golden brown.
    • (Note: I used refrigerated cookie dough to save time. However, you can definitely use your go-to homemade cookie dough recipe or try the dough from our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe found HERE.)
  3. CREAM CHEESE. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip. Once your cookie base is completely cooled, spread on cream cheese mixture.
  4. CHOCOLATE PUDDING. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and white chocolate puddings with cold milk. Whisk together until smooth. Let it set for about 2 minutes. Spread pudding mixture on top of cream cheese layer.
  5. CHILL. Refrigerate until ready to serve (or for at least 30 minutes).
  6. TOP & SERVE. Right before serving, spread remaining Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. ENJOY!

Additional Topping Ideas

  • Chopped nuts
  • Chopped chocolate candy such as Reese’s
  • Mini M&M’s
  • Edible Cookie Dough
  • Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip if you like!
