Amazing Chips Ahoy Kahlua Triffle

Layering Kahlua-soaked Chips Ahoy cookies and Cool Whip is more art than science. What you need to know is that you should do it a night in advance to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to blend, and that the finished product looks and tastes about a million times classier than the sum of its parts.

It's closer to an icebox cake than a torte; there's no baking involved, and it truly does work better with store-bought ingredients than anything homemade.
