  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 (9-ounce) package chocolate wafer cookies

Directions

Step 1 -In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer on medium speed.

Step 2 -Once the cream begins to thicken, add the powdered sugar and the vanilla.

Step 5 -Spread a layer of the whipped cream on a serving plate.

Step 6 -Stack the cookies upright on the whipped cream layer to form a line.

Step 7 -Once all the cookies are in a line, spread the remaining whipped cream over the cookies to form a log-shaped cake.
