Three Layer Cookies

Three Layer Cookies

First Layer.

Ingredients:

1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. flaked coconut
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Directions:

Place butter, sugar, cocoa and vanilla in top of double boiler. Cook until blended. Add egg and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add graham cracker crumbs, coconut and chopped nuts. Press into a buttered 9x13-inch pan. Cool.

Second Layer.

Ingredients:

1 c. softened butter
6 T. milk
4 tsp. instant vanilla pudding mix
4 c. confectioners' sugar

Directions:

Cream butter until light and fluffy. Mix milk and instant pudding mix. Add to butter and mix well. Add confectioners' sugar gradually. Beat until smooth. Spread out onto cooled first layer. Let stand until firm.

Third Layer.

Ingredients:

3/4 c. chocolate chips
1 T. butter

Directions:

Melt chocolate chips and butter in top of double boiler. Spread over second layer. Cut into small squares and refrigerate.

Note: I usually use 1 c. chocolate chips and 1 T. plus a slight tsp. of butter so that it covers well. It should be a thin, solid, smooth chocolate layer on top.
