Creating Your Masterpiece

Final Presentation:
When ready to serve, garnish with extra whipped topping and festive sprinkles. A beautiful presentation makes your dessert even more appealing and festive, especially during the holidays.
Chilling for Flavor:
Allowing the lasagna to refrigerate for at least two hours lets the layers set and the flavors meld, resulting in a more cohesive dessert that's easier to slice and serve.
Layering Techniques:
When layering, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie base. Use a spatula to smooth it down, ensuring that every bite of the lasagna has an even distribution of the cream cheese layer.
Folding in Toppings:
Gently folding in the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture ensures that it remains light and airy. This folding technique also helps incorporate air without deflating the mixture.
Beating Cream Cheese:
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Beating it until it's smooth and creamy is necessary for a luscious texture in the cream cheese layer.
Cooling the Cookie Layer:
Letting the cookie layer cool completely is vital for preventing the cream cheese layer from melting. It also allows the flavors to settle, creating a better-tasting dessert.
Spreading Cookie Dough:
When spreading the cookie dough into the baking pan, use an offset spatula for even distribution. A flat surface will ensure all edges are cooked evenly, resulting in a perfect cookie base.
Incorporating Wet Ingredients:
Adding the egg and vanilla after creaming the butter helps to build flavor and moisture into the cookie dough. Mix until just combined to avoid overdeveloping the gluten.
Creaming Butter and Sugars:
Beating the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy is crucial. This process incorporates air, leading to a lighter cookie texture. It's essential not to rush this step for the best results.
Mixing Dry Ingredients:
Whisking together the flour, baking soda, and salt is key to ensuring even distribution of these components. This prevents clumping and ensures that your cookie layer has a consistent texture.

Pro Tips for Perfecting Your Christmas Cookie Lasagna
For a stunning presentation, use a serrated knife to cut clean slices, and wipe the knife between cuts.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days to keep it fresh.
For extra flavor, consider adding mini chocolate chips to the cookie layer or crushed peppermint candies for crunch.
This dessert is best served chilled, but if left at room temperature too long, it may lose its shape.

Instructions

01
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial for even baking of the cookie layers.

06
Step 6: Spread the cookie dough evenly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
07
Step 7: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cookie layer cool completely.
08
Step 8: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy. This layer adds a lovely tangy and sweet contrast.
09
Step 9: Gently fold in the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. This creates a light and airy texture.
10
Step 10: Once the cookie layer is cooled, spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the cookie base. Smooth it out for an even layer.
11
Step 11: Top with additional whipped topping and sprinkle with festive decorations like sprinkles or crushed candy canes to enhance the holiday spirit.
12
Step 12: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Cut into squares and enjoy!
