Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie base.
Prepare Cookie Base: Mix the sugar cookie mix with softened butter according to the package instructions. Press the dough evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish to form the cookie crust layer.
Bake Cookie Layer: Bake the cookie base for 15-20 minutes or until it turns golden brown. After baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely to ensure the cream cheese layer sets properly.
Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled sugar cookie base to create a creamy layer.
Add Whipped Topping: Spread one cup of whipped topping over the cream cheese mixture to add lightness and fluffiness.
Sprinkle Festive Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies and chocolate chips evenly across the whipped topping layer to add crunch and festive flavor.
Top with Remaining Whipped Topping and Sprinkles: Spread the second cup of whipped topping over the peppermint and chocolate chip layer, then garnish the top with holiday sprinkles for extra color and festivity.
Chill the Dessert: Place the assembled lasagna in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. This chilling step allows the layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cookie base is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent melting.
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for a richer texture.
The crushed peppermint candies add a festive crunch but can be adjusted or omitted for allergies.
Prepare the dessert a day ahead to allow more time for chilling and flavor blending.
Use a greased or parchment-lined baking dish to easily remove or serve the dessert.
