Step 1

Preparation

Beat together the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until stiff.

Spread a strip of whipped cream down the center of a serving plate to put the cookies on. Spread a generous spoonful of the whipped cream mixture on each cookie and stack them on their sides on the whipped cream on the plate to make a long log.

You'll need to judge the number of cookies to use. When about 1/3 of the cream is left, stop adding cookies and start frosting the outside of the cookie log.

When the cookies are frosted and stacked, cover the entire log with more whipped cream thickly and thoroughly. Be sure to get all the way around the sides of the cookies with the cream. Cover the roll and chill in the refrigerator for at least eight hours. Slice on a diagonal to serve to make sure you get cookies and cream in every slice..

Or, you can use my mother's trick and divide the wafers into eight groups. Frost the top of each wafer and stack them vertically, making eight stacks of cookies. Then frost the top and sides of each little stack, like you would a cake. Top each with a raspberry and chill for at least eight hours. Serve one stack to each diner.
