***RECIPE, FEEDS 8***

For the cookies

1 stick (113g) butter
1 1/4 (250g) cup brown sugar (or white sugar + a glug of molasses)
3/4 cup (75g) dutch cocoa powder
1 egg
1 cup (120g) flour
1 cup (175g) mini chocolate chips
baking powder
vanilla
milk
salt

For the whipped cream

3 pints (1.5 liters) cream
1/2 cup (80g) malted milk powder (or even more if you like the taste)
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
vanilla

Melt the butter. Stir in the sugar, a little glug of vanilla, a big glug of milk, a dash of baking powder, a small pinch of salt (or a big pinch if you're using unsalted butter), cocoa powder, egg, flour and chocolate chips.

Dump the dough onto a piece of parchment or plastic wrap and shape it into a rough log. Chill until solid enough to roll into a more uniform log. Chill again until firm enough to cut into uniform thick coins of dough. Place the coins onto baking sheets and bake at 350ºF/180ºC until they look done – 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely before assembling the cakes.

Combine the cream, milk powder, sugar and a big glug of vanilla. Whip until you have whipped cream. You'll have an easier time assembling the cakes if you chill this a bit first.

Assemble the cakes by alternating cookies with heavy layers of whipped cream. Watch the video for ideas about how to shape them, but you could also just do this lasagna-style in a cake pan. Maybe bash a couple of your cookies into a powder to sprinkle over top.

Let the cakes chill in the fridge for at least a day — the cookies and cream need time to kinda melt together.
