Chocolate Chip Cookie Lasagna Dessert is so heavenly creamy, dreamy and exploding with chocolate chip cookie bits in every amazing bite! This crowd pan-pleaser will definitely have everyone swooning and begging for seconds. (...maybe even thirds!!)
It's lusciously layered with baked chocolate chip cookie dough, cream cheese fluff, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, chocolate ganache, mini chocolate chips and loads of chocolate chip cookie crumbles.
The only thing missing is a fork and all the cookie monsters!
Btw...this amazing layered lasagna is ideal for all of your summer gatherings, family picnics, definitely birthday parties (add some sprinkles!!) and more! Present this for Memorial weekend or 4th of July for sure, because it's sneaking up on us and before you know it, it will be here and you'll be like what should I make? Got ya covered!
Everyone loves, loves, loves cookies, so this 9 x 13 pan is a definite no-brainer to satisfy and will feed a lovely crowd-size of 12-18 easily!
I found you can do this cookie dough several ways for this recipe. To save time, you can buy the prepared cookie dough straight from your local grocery store and use that, like Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough or you can make your own, like I did in the recipe using a gluten free cookie dough recipe! You can also use my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe if you don't want to make the gluten-free version.
I made this a healthier version. I used coconut flour to make this gluten-free, but you can use all purpose flour, or whatever blend you are familiar with.
More coconut flour recipes include these GF Healthy Birthday Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars – Vegan Options too! and these“Purely Amazing” GF Ultra Chocolate Brownies.
Here's some great tips when baking gluten-free.
Here's my Tip: I add just a little less flour if I'm using strictly oat, coconut or almond flour instead of purpose flour, whole wheat or a gluten free flour blend. I use less sugar and a little more liquid for moisture. Those heavier, textured flours can tend to dry out baked goods if the ratios are off. And, when it comes to cookies and bars, it always better to not over-bake.
If you're using all purpose flour, you could also use my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for the chocolate chip cookie base and cookie crumbles, or you can incorporate all-purpose flour right in as shown below in the recipe.
