Ingredients
Base and Layers
- Sugar Cookies (soft and sweet) – quantity as needed to form layers
Cream Cheese Mixture
- Cream Cheese – softened, quantity as per preference (about 8 oz)
- Powdered Sugar – gradually added to taste (about 1 cup)
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
Whipped Layer
- Whipped Topping – about 1 to 1 ½ cups
Optional Toppings
- Festive Sprinkles – quantity as desired
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and creamy. This will provide richness and tang to your dessert.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy texture that contrasts with the dense cookie layers.
- Layer the Cookies and Cream: In a serving dish, arrange a single layer of sugar cookies. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on top. Repeat the layering process until all cookies and cream are used, finishing with a cream layer on top for smoothness.
- Decorate the Top: Sprinkle festive holiday colored sprinkles over the final cream layer to add color and holiday cheer.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight. Chilling softens the cookies and allows flavors to meld into a luscious treat.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese and whipped topping for easier mixing and smoother layers.
- Choose soft sugar cookies that soften nicely without becoming mushy during chilling.
- Spread frosting evenly for neat and visually appealing layers.
- Refrigerate fully before serving to improve texture and flavor.
- Serve cold and keep chilled until serving for best taste.
