Chocolate Christmas Log (Cookie Cake) image

This is a Christmas tradition in my family. We often have to make more than one and somehow ingredients tend to go missing in action. It is so easy, kids love to help (which explains the missing ingredients). To make cookie cake, double the recipe and place the cookies and cream in layers in a springform pan (topping with a layer of whipped cream). After refrigerating at least overnight, remove sides of pan and apply more whipped cream as icing.

Easy to make and delicious. I used a store-bought chocolate cake mix and it still turned out great. The log cake was moist and the frosting was creamy and rich. A perfect dessert for any occasion.
