National Cookie Day

It’s National Cookie Day! Did you know you can make a cake from cookies? It’s the best of both worlds. This two-ingredient dessert was submitted by a team member and is a good one for junior chefs in the making. The recipe works with fresh-baked cookies (even better from a natural gas oven) or packaged cookies taste great, too.

Ice Box Cookie Cake: 

Use Cool Whip in between layers of cookies. Then cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. Here’s a little more about what you need and how to make it:

Ingredients: 

• 1 box of Nabisco Famous Wafers (find these in the cookie aisle and sometimes in the aisle with ice cream toppings)
• 1 large tub or 2 regular-sized tubs of Cool Whip – thaw in refrigerator so that it is spreadable

Directions:

• Layer the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan with cookies then spread a layer of Cool Whip to cover.
• Repeat layers and Cool Whip until you run out of cookies.
• Finish the top with a smooth layer of Cool Whip (sprinkles are optional).
• Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. Or if you want the cake a bit softer, just refrigerate overnight.
