Chocolate Cookie Cake

You'll definitely need a glass of milk with this one! I adapted this from my better homes and gardens new baking book. This cake is sweet and a little time consuming, but so worth it, especially if you like oreos! I've made it for a cake walk, as it makes a pretty presentation. Before i even baked all of the batter, my husband asked if there would be any leftovers! :)
