What Cookies Go In This Cake?

With this Cookie Monster Cake, you will be using crushed Oreos, mini Oreos and full sized Oreos as well as chocolate chip cookies. You are also making a chocolate chip cookie dough frosting to go between the layers.

Does This Cake Need To Be Refrigerated

Normally, this cake could be stored at room temperature but I prefer to keep the cookie dough frosting in the refrigerator, like I store my edible cookie dough. For that reason, I like to keep my cake refrigerated.
