Spread in a 9-inch round cakepan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350u00b0 for 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan; run a knife around pan to loosen.", "Bake cookies according to package directions at 350u00b0 for 10 minutes. (Cookies will be soft.) Cool cookies on baking sheet 2 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Remove cookies to wire racks; cool completely.", "Stir together flour and 1 tablespoon cocoa.

Loosen edges of pudding cake with a narrow flexible spatula, and invert onto brownie layer. (Don't worry if pudding cake layer doesn't come out of pan in one piece. Carefully place pieces together in 1 layer on top of brownie layer. When the cake is assembled, this layer resembles frosting between the layers.)", "Place 1 cake layer over pudding cake layer; press gently. Thinly spread cake layer with frosting. Place about 5 cookies in a single layer over frosting. Thinly spread bottoms of remaining cookies with frosting. Place cookies, frosted side down, on top of each other in even layers.

Thinly frost top of cake layer and sides of all layers with remaining frosting. Sprinkle remaining chocolate morsels on cake.

Cookies should be about 2 1/4 inches in diameter."]
