Strawberries & Cream Dessert Squares
I make this dessert all of the time. I usually just use my homemade strawberry jam for the topping, but was out of it when I made it this time. It is great either way, but I liked using up some of my awesome jam. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Ingredients
- 1 (17.5-ounce) box Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix, and ingredients called for on the box
- ½ cup butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup white vanilla baking chips
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups sliced strawberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 15x10x1 or 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Make the sugar cookie dough according to package directions. (Should call for butter and egg.) Press the dough down in the prepared pan evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Cool completely.
- Melt the white chocolate baking chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time until the chocolate is all smooth.
- In a mixer over medium speed, whisk together the cream cheese and melted baking chips.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie crust and refrigerate while making the topping.
- Crush 1 cup of the strawberries in a small bowl. In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the crushed strawberries and water to the saucepan.
- Cook the strawberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Gently stir the remaining 2 cups of sliced strawberries into the strawberry mixture and spread this over the top of the cookie crust and cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set. Serve within 4 hours, or store in the refrigerator.
