Happy
Valentine’s (Galentine’s) Day to all of you!! I wanted to share a quick recipe
that I whipped together last minute for a delicious V-day dessert! I love
strawberries, & this recipe is so good. Since we do not typically
celebrate/go out for dinner on the actual holiday, I like to cook a meal and
dessert for us to enjoy together on the actual holiday. A lot of the time, we will cook and bake our meal
together. For this dessert since I was experimenting and relatively had no plan
in place, I let him enjoy some quality time with his other love, his PS4 Pro (a
new addition to the family – eye roll).
Let’s
be honest, I told him I made this for “us” but I really made it for me and
decided it would be rude not to share. The idea for this dessert came from my
love of all sweets – haha – said every girl ever. This recipe is easy and
simple even for an inexperienced baker, perfect for impressing that special
somebody – or even taking it along for your Galentine’s night! I want to jump
right in to this recipe so you can enjoy your day of love!
Strawberry Cream Cookie
Bars
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Yields: about 24 bars
Ingredients:
1 roll of Pillsbury sugar
cookie dough
¾ cup of powdered sugar
¾ cup of Cool Whip
6 oz cream cheese
1lb fresh strawberries,
diced
10 oz of strawberry
glaze
1. In an ungreased 12 x
9 baking sheet/pan, press the cookie dough.
Create a small lip around the sides of the pan. Bake per the directions
cookie dough directions. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
2. Blend cream cheese,
powdered sugar, & cool whip until smooth. I used a hand mixer for about 1
minute & that worked perfectly.
3. Spread the cream
cheese mixture over the top of the cookie crust, using the entire mixture.
4. Layer the diced
strawberries over the cream cheese mixture.
**This
step can be done numerous ways. The strawberries can be large slices or diced
as I have shown above. Also, the amount of strawberries is up to you. We love
strawberries so I used a full pound minus 2 strawberries for the garnish.
5. Spread the glaze
over the top using a spatula to evenly distribute.
6. ENJOY with your
love!
Once again, I really hope you have a wonderful day
with your loved ones, your gal pals, your pups, or even your independent self! This
day is about love, so love yourself & enjoy a delicious treat!
Yummy...
