Let’s be honest: cookies are what get you through the day, the week, the month… your life just wouldn’t be complete without them. And as any cookie fiend will tell you, it’s pretty much impossible to heed the warning that cookie dough should never be eaten raw – who could possibly resist? Because we think that’s a choice that no one should ever have to make, we’ve created this no-bake cookie dough cake with chocolate mousse and a rich glaze so that you can eat all the cookie dough you want. So grab a spoon and let’s do this!
