Ingredients

2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour* (or almond flour)
1/4 cup milk

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling
1 tub Cool Whip
2 cups chocolate sauce

18 graham crackers
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Make the cookie dough by beating the softened butter and sugar together in a large bowl using a hand mixer until smooth. Add flour, vanilla extract, and salt, then beat until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips gently.

Step 2: In a 9″x13″ baking dish, place an even layer of graham crackers. Spread about one-third of the cookie dough evenly over the crackers. Pour chocolate sauce over the cookie dough, then add another layer of graham crackers.
Step 3: Spread a thick, fluffy layer of Cool Whip over the graham crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers on top.
Step 4: Repeat the layering process, reserving about 1/3 cup of cookie dough. Finish with a final thick layer of Cool Whip on top.

Step 5: Roll the remaining cookie dough into small balls and scatter them over the top Cool Whip layer. Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top as well.
Step 6: Refrigerate the lasagna for about 4 hours, allowing the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Step 7: Slice into squares and serve cold for a delicious, layered treat.

Tips & Variations

Use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour to make the cookie dough gluten-free and add a subtle nutty flavor.
For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts between layers along with the chocolate chips.
Let the dessert chill overnight for even better flavor and texture.

Storage

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cookie dough and graham crackers will continue to soften over time, making the dessert easier to slice. Serve cold, and if desired, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

How to Serve

From bottom to top, the dessert has a crumbly, golden-brown crust layer followed by a thick, creamy white layer mixed with chocolate chips or chunks. Above this is a thin, rich dark chocolate layer, then another creamy white layer, topped with a fluffy white whipped topping. On top of the whipped cream is a small dollop of pale yellow cream with a few small chocolate chips, creating a soft, textured look. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
