How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Bars Cookie Mix

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (16 oz) sugar cookie mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 large egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Let cool completely for at least 15 minutes.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Prepare the strawberry swirl: Place 1 cup strawberry spread (or make your own by pureeing fresh strawberries) into a small resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly.
Snip off a tiny corner of the bag.
Pipe 3 lines of strawberry spread lengthwise across the cream cheese mixture.
Gently swirl the spread into the cream cheese mixture using a knife or toothpick.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles.
Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to chill and set completely.
Cut into 32 bars (8 rows x 4 rows).
Store covered in the refrigerator.
