Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Torte

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Torte

Cookies:


1 cup butter or margarine (room temperature)
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
9 Tbs cocoa
3 Tsp vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour


Preheat oven to 375°F. Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Add cocoa, oil and vanilla. Mix well.  At low speed, add flour until combined.

Place 3 scoops of the dough onto a 11x7 in piece of waxed paper. Cover it with another piece of waxed paper and roll into a thin shape. (Mine ended up in all sorts of fun, non-round shapes). Carefully remove the top piece of wax paper and place the cookie-topped piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. *

Bake for 6 minutes. Slide waxed paper with bake cookie onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before peeling waxed paper off of cookie.

Continue with all the layers.

* I reused the 'top' piece of wax paper every time I rolled. But you will need enough wax paper for baking the 10+ layers. :)  

Once all the layers are baked, alternate cookies with filling on large serving plate.

Filling:

1 tub Cool Whip
4 Tbs peanut butter (or more/less to your personal taste)

Store in fridge until ready to serve! (And I do recommend bringing the intact dessert to the table to wow your friends/spouse. No serving this behind the scenes...)
