celebrate with cookie dough pie

I hope that everyone had a very happy and safe 4th of July. It was a bit rainy here but that didn't stop us from celebrating! Here is a very quick and easy dessert that can be festive for any occasion. Here is the recipe....if you can even call it that:)




Cookie Dough Pie

15.25 ounce package Chips Ahoy Cookies- Original kind
8-12 ounces Cool Whip- I used 8 ounces
2 cups milk*

Quickly dip cookies in milk, shake off excess liquid, and layer in 9 inch pie plate, breaking cookies to fill any gaps. 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. Garnish with chocolate syrup if desired. Place in refrigerator or freezer 2-3 hours before serving. Serves 6-8.

I put the milk in a shallow dish and it didn't take a full 2 cups. I also used an 8 X 12 dish and wished I had a few more cookies. The next time I make this I will use a 9 X 13 pan, buy 2 packages of cookies and a large Cool Whip. It was very good considering the effort put into it:) And the kids LOVED it!
