  • To assemble the cake, arrange chocolate chip cookies flat in an 8-inch spring form pan, make sure break cookies to fill in the gaps. Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream and cover the cookies. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
