How to Make Our Layered Chocolate Chip Cookie Dessert
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9X13-inch baking dish liberally with butter.
- Bake the cookie base. Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the baking pan, doing your best to create an even layer that extends all the way to the edges and corners of the pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool. Allow the cookie base to cool in the pan while you assemble the other components of the layered dessert.
- Make the cheesecake layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the powdered sugar. Fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip. Set aside.
- Make the pudding layer. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the instant puddings, half and half, and milk until smooth and thickened.
- Assemble. Once the cookie base has cooled, spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the top. Spread the pudding layer over the top of the cheesecake layer. Spread 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
- Chill. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours.
- Finish it off. Remove the dessert from the fridge, uncover it, and sprinkle the top with Chips Ahoy.
Recipe Notes
While we love our chocolate chip cookie lasagna with cookie pieces (aka perfect for a cookie lover). But, you can also try some of these toppings as well, such as mini chocolate chips, melted peanut butter, chopped chocolate pieces, chocolate chip cookie bars, or chocolate shavings.
To keep things simple, we used premade chocolate chip cookie dough for the chocolate chip cookie base. But, if you want to put in some extra effort and use your own chocolate chip cookies recipe, then go on right ahead and use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and bake it in a 9×13 in pan instead of rolling cookies.
When you want to change the flavor of this chocolate chip cookie icebox cake, think about changing the soft chocolate chip cookies base out for your favorite cookie dough. You can also switch out the instant pudding for something else like white chocolate pudding or pistachio pudding to go in the creamy layers of this tasty dish.
