The Chocolate Chip Cookie & Amaretto Dessert is an indulgent treat that layers rich flavors and textures for a delightful experience. With a combination of crunchy cookies, creamy Cool Whip, and a splash of Amaretto, it’s sure to impress at any gathering or simply as a special dessert at home.
When it comes to making the Chocolate Chip Cookie & Amaretto Dessert, you might want to stick with a sturdy chocolate chip cookie like Chip Ahoy. Soft cookies can crumble in the milk and Amaretto mix, leading to a less-than-stellar layering experience. If you’re looking to substitute, a dry, crunchy cookie is ideal, and if you have an allergy to nuts, consider using a nut-free flavoring instead of Amaretto.

Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package chocolate chip cookies
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Amaretto
- 12 ounces Cool Whip
Instructions
- In a 9X13X2 glass dish, spread a thin layer of Cool Whip on the bottom.
- Pour 1 cup milk into a tall measuring cup and add 1/4 cup Amaretto, then stir to combine.
- Quickly dip the cookies into the milk and Amaretto mixture—no soaking, just a brief dip to avoid crumbling.
- Layer the dipped cookies over the Cool Whip layer, then top with more Cool Whip.
- Repeat the layering process to build two or three layers, making sure the final layer is Cool Whip.
- Optionally, sprinkle shaved chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
