COOKIE SALAD I
This is my mom's recipe, and it is delicious! It can be served as either a salad or dessert. This recipe can also be used to make parfaits. Simply layer the salad, extra whipped topping, crushed cookies and repeat. Top parfaits with a dollop of whipped topping. Or, to serve as a pie, pour into a graham cracker or cookie crust and chill before serving.

RUGELACH COOKIE SALAD
Cookie salad is my favorite of the Midwest dessert salads and it's typically made with fudge stripe cookies, whipped cream, pudding and fruit. Rugelach is a rolled Jewish cookie that's usually filled with jam, chocolate or cinnamon sugar. I got the idea to combine the two when my friends kept calling rugelach "arugula" (they kind of sound the same!), so the whole thing is a play on words and it's really really tasty because the cookies get a little soft, almost cake-like, and the flavors all play so well together.

Steps:
- For the pudding: Combine the granulated sugar, flour and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the egg yolks, then the heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Add the vanilla and most of the orange zest (save some for garnish), pour into a heat-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap so that it touches the surface of the pudding. Refrigerate until cooled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- For the rugelach: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roll the pie dough out on a lightly floured surface to a large round, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the dough with the egg wash, then sprinkle the granulated sugar, cinnamon and half of the walnuts in a light even layer across the dough. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into 8 triangular wedges. Roll up each section starting with the wide end. Transfer the rugelach to a parchment-lined baking sheet and space them 1 inch apart. Lightly brush the top of the rugelach with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar, flaky salt and the rest of the walnuts.
- Bake until golden brown; start checking for doneness at 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the pan or a cooling rack.
- For the whipped cream. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks.
- For the assembly: Roughly chop half of the rugelach cookies, leaving the rest intact.
- In a large bowl, fold together the whipped cream and pudding. Add the marshmallows, apples and chopped rugelach and mix together. Top with the intact rugelach, some marshmallows, the remaining orange zest and a few more toasted nuts. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

- In a large bowl, mix together the dry pudding mixes and buttermilk. Fold in the Cool-Whip. Stir in the pineapple and mandarin oranges until incorporated. Break cookies into bite-size pieces and gently fold into salad mixture. Serve immediately. If you want to make this ahead of time, just wait to add the cookie pieces until right before you serve it because the cookies tend to go soggy, unless you like them that way!

Tips:
- Choose fresh and ripe fruits: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the taste of your cookie salad. Look for fruits that are in season and have a vibrant color.
- Mix and match your fruits: Feel free to use any combination of fruits that you like. Some popular choices include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, peaches, and pineapple.
- Use high-quality cookies: The cookies are another important component of cookie salad. Choose cookies that are fresh and have a good flavor. You can use any type of cookie you like, but shortbread cookies, vanilla wafers, and chocolate chip cookies are all popular choices.

- Chill your cookie salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
