The confection doesn't actually involve sheets of pasta, cheese or meat sauce, but it does adhere to the layered concept of making the popular Italian meal. While browsing the Internet, McKay stumbled upon a dessert recipe that mixed together chocolate chip cookies, [Oreo fudge brownie bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-pie) and chocolate chip cookie dough. Being "often responsible for not following any rules in the kitchen," McKay took inspiration from the recipe and created her own recipe that also mixes various types of cookies together. For her recipe, she baked chocolate chip cookies, Oreos, Blondies and [cake batter together in layers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-cake) as if it were lasagna. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Layered Desserts:** There is a trend towards creating desserts with a layered, lasagna-like structure using various cookies, bars, and batter. - **Creative Baking:** Bakers are experimenting with non-traditional ingredient combinations, such as using cookies and bars in lieu of pasta in a lasagna-like structure. - **Social Media Food Bloggers:** Social media food bloggers are inspiring readers to try unique dessert recipes, such as cookie-layered lasagna. ### Where This Applies - **Baking Ingredients:** There may be an opportunity for the baking ingredients industry to create new products and marketing initiatives that highlight the use of cookies and bars in non-traditional baking methods. - **Food Blogging:** Individuals may see an opportunity in food blogging, creating and marketing unique dessert recipes such as cookie-layered lasagna to attract followers. - **Dessert Restaurants:** Dessert restaurants may be able to capitalize on creating their own version of cookie-layered lasagna for their sweet-toothed customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scrambled Cookie Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrambled-cookies.md) - [Bakery-Style Skillet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-skillet-cookie.md) - [Crumbled Cookie Dessert Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-brownie-pizza.md) - [Rich Brownie-Packed Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-brookie.md) - [Pizza-Style Cookie Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-cookie.md) - [Chocolatey Cake-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-cake-cookie.md) - [Ready-To-Bake Cookie Dough Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-dough-skillet.md) - [Chocolate Ravioli Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-ravioli.md) - [Hybrid Holiday Dessert Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-dough-pie-cookies.md)
