# Steps to Cook:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Evenly press refrigerated cookie dough into the bottom. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely to prevent melting the next layer.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until light and creamy. Gently fold in one container of thawed Cool Whip. Add blue gel food coloring gradually, stirring until achieving desired Cookie Monster blue color.
03 - Spread blue cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled cookie crust using an offset spatula. Refrigerate to chill while preparing the next layer.
04 - Whisk chocolate fudge pudding mixes with milk until well combined. Allow to thicken per package instructions. Fold in chopped Oreos gently.
05 - Spread pudding mixture evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer. Return dish to refrigerator to set.
06 - Reserve 1 cup plain Cool Whip. Tint remaining Cool Whip with blue gel food coloring until desired shade is reached. Spread blue Cool Whip over pudding layer. Add dollops of reserved plain Cool Whip and swirl lightly for marbled effect.
07 - Sprinkle chopped mini Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies on top. Add candy eyes to create the Cookie Monster appearance creatively.
08 - Refrigerate dessert until all layers are fully set. For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts. Serve chilled.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure cookie crust is completely cooled before adding cream cheese layer to prevent melting.
02 - Using an offset spatula allows for smooth, even layering.
03 - The dessert benefits from extended chilling to better set the layers.
04 - A no-bake alternative uses a ready-made cookie pie crust instead of cookie dough.
05 - Decorating with candy eyes is fun for kids to participate.
