Chocolate cake with cookies
Description
This amazing homemade chocolate cookie cake is very easy to make using "Oreo"-style cookies. Its flavor pairs perfectly with the light cake layers and is enhanced by the delicate cream. However, you can use any other chocolate cookies you prefer. If you're not experienced with using a piping bag, simply spread the cream over the top layer and arrange the whole cookies on top—it will look just as beautiful. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
