Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 1 package (about 16 Oz. Package) Sugar Cookie Mix
  • 1/2 cups Butter
  • 1 whole Egg
  • _____
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 cup Mashed Strawberries
  • _____
  • FOR THE TOPPINGS:
  • 4 cups Sliced Strawberries
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut

Method

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom only of a 13x9inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine cookie mix, butter, and egg until a soft dough forms. Press evenly in the bottom of the pan. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Make the frosting: combine all the frosting ingredients EXCEPT the strawberries in a large bowl. Mix with a hand mixer on medium, until combined and fluffy. Stir in the crushed strawberries.
  • Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the cookie crust; saving a few for garnish.
  • Frost the top of the cookie bar. I didn't use the entire amount of frosting, only about 3/4 of it. If you have extra, just put it in the fridge, and you can spread it on graham crackers and enjoy later!
  • Sprinkle the saved strawberries and the coconut on top of the frosting. Cover and refrigerate to keep the strawberries fresh.
