Sweet Treat Tuesday-Cookie Dough Pie

So I tried out a new dessert on Super Bowl Sunday, and let me tell you how good it was. The best part about it was that it was so so so very easy!! I almost over looked this recipe because of the name, because I don't usually make desserts with raw cookie dough in them, but then I saw it didn't use raw cookie dough at all, but it tastes like bits of cookie dough are in the pie. It's magic! Definitely don't miss this recipe. It will be a perfect dessert for just about anything, especially this summer! I'm already thinking of all sorts of other things I will make using cool whip!



Cookie Dough Pie
slightly adapted from Siggy Spice

Ingredients:
15.25 ounce package Original Chips Ahoy Cookies (not the chewy kind)
8-12 ounces Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
1-2 cups milk
Chocolate Sauce or melted chocolate chips, for drizzle

Directions:
Quickly dip cookies in milk, shake off excess liquid, and layer in 9 inch pie plate, breaking cookies to fill any gaps. *The original recipe calls for 2 cups of milk. I was able to get away with using one, and dipping my cookies at an angle so I wouldn't waste so much milk. Once the first layer is complete, top with a thin layer of Cool Whip. Repeat twice more making last layer of Cool Whip a bit thicker. I used one tub of cool whip and then made more homemade whipped cream because I like to go heavy on everything. Just be sure to go light on your first two layers of whipped cream if you only want to use one container of cool whip, but I recommend using more. It was so good! Garnish with chocolate syrup  or a small amount of melted chocolate chips, if desired. Place in freezer 2-3 hours before serving. Serves 6-8.

*Note- You must dip quickly or your pie will be very soggy. Make sure to shake off all excess milk so that you do not have a puddle of milk in your pie.
