Mandarin Cookie Dessert

A friend brought this to a pot luck lunch, and it was such a hit with everyone! I asked for the recipe and she graciously gave it to me. Actually I thought it was a salad, as it was not placed with the other desserts. So - it could be used either way. We really like this at our house!
