How to Make Quick And Easy Strawberry Shortcake
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your sugar cookie dough package.
- Unroll your sugar cookie dough and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rounds. (Adjust thickness to your preference)
- Arrange the cookie slices on an ungreased baking sheet, pressing them together edge-to-edge to form a crust.
- Bake according to the package directions for sugar cookie dough, until golden brown and set.
- Let the cookie crust cool completely before proceeding.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese (full-fat or fat-free), 8 ounces of cool whip (full-fat or light), and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons of your favorite strawberry glaze (or make your own by mixing 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 tablespoon of water and a dash of lemon juice).
- Spread the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
