Cookie Monster Dessert is the ultimate four layer dessert. A layer of chocolate chip cookie topped with pudding, sweetened cream cheese and whipped topping!
COOKIE MONSTER LAYERED DESSERT
I think I must have been conditioned at a young age to want dessert right after supper. As soon as I am finished eating my meal, I immediately want something sweet. This chocolate chip cookie layered dessert fits the bill. I tested it out this weekend with my co-workers and I came home with an empty dish. They officially dubbed it the Cookie Monster dessert. I am calling this dessert a win!

COOKIE MONSTER LAYERED DESSERT
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz tube refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 8 oz block cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 16 oz tub COOL WHIP (larger tub) thawed (divided use)
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 4 oz box instant chocolate pudding
- 1 4 oz box instant vanilla pudding
- mini chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Set cookie dough out on counter and let come to room temperature to soften (this will make it easier to spread into your baking dish).
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- When cookie dough is soft, spread into baking pan. This takes a little patience to get it all spread out. Just get it as even as you can.
- Bake for about 14-16 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add in 2 cups of whipped topping. Mix gently.
- Once the cookie base is completely cooled, spread on cream cheese mixture.
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and vanilla puddings with cold milk. Whisk together until smooth.
- Let it set for about 2 minutes. It should be soft set but still spreadable. Spread pudding mixture on top of cream cheese layer.
- Spread remaining whipped topping on top of pudding layer.
- Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.

I kid you not... I invented this recipe in 1982. I was 8 years old and was playing around in the kitchen. My mom made fruit pizza, but I thought it should be chocolate with no fruit. And I made this...

Ha! I love it! My Dad swears he invented the bacon cheeseburger. LOL

I have the recipe for Hilton's Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies and I think that would compliment this dessert a great deal. Not a fan of pre-made doughs or batters. The Doubletree cookies will add some extra texture with the rolled oats. Thanks again Brandie! You're going to make me fatter.

Had to try this, but I altered it. My husband isn't a chocolate fan, so I decided to use a sugar cookie crust and use banana cream and white chocolate pudding instead. It's chilling now, but it tasted great as I licked the spoon after putting it together. Can't wait to eat it. I'm sure it will be a hit here.
