Frozen Cool Whip Dessert

2 large containers Cool Whip
2 Crispy Crunch Bars
1 package (400 g) chocolate chip cookies
1 cup (approx.) Bailey’s Irish Cream, Kaluha or Tia Maria (for a non-alcoholic version, you can use milk)

Dip chocolate chip cookies one at a time in Irish Cream. Do not let them soak too long, just dip once and remove. Line the bottom of a springform pan with cookies. You may have to break some up to fill all the gaps. Cover cookies with one container of Cool Whip (slightly thawed to make spreading easier), Crush Crispy Crunch bars and sprinkle half of the crumbs over the top. Repeat process again for the second layer.

Cover and keep in freezer until ready to serve.

** This will be a hit every time!!! **

Thick & Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies with Corn Flakes

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour or white whole wheat (440 grams)
1 Tbsp baking soda (15 ml)
1 tsp salt (5 ml)
1 cup butter (2 sticks) – salted (230 grams)
1 cup packed brown sugar – (220 grams)
1 cup granulated sugar or evaporated cane juice sugar (199 grams)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (15 ml)
1 cup vegetable oil (240 ml)
1 1/2 cups corn flakes, lightly crushed after measuring (60 grams)
1 1/2 cups quick cooking (not instant) oatmeal (140 grams)
1 cup toasted chopped pecans (60 grams)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (336 grams)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (or it’s 275 degrees C).

Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars, then beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in oil.

Add flour mixture and stir until it is almost fully incorporated, then stir in the corn flakes, oatmeal, pecans and chocolate chips. Continue stirring until flour disappears.

Chill dough for at least an hour – it will get very firm and almost crumbly. When ready to bake, scoop up with a spoon and form into golf ball size mounds. Space 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets and press the dough mounds down slightly to make round discs. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Baking them longer should make them a bit crunchier.
