  Directions

  • Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Press into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° until golden brown, 14-16 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in 1-3/4 cups whipped topping. Spread over crust.
  • In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle with nuts and chocolate curls if desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate until firm, 8 hours or overnight.
  
  Test Kitchen Tips
• You've got to love how no-fuss this is, but if you have a favorite homemade cookie recipe and are feeling ambitious, by all means substitute it for the prepared dough.
• Be sure to beat or whisk your pudding for a full 2 minutes to thicken it. A hand mixer on medium speed is a good choice, but hand whisking and a little elbow grease work, too.
