Ingredients

Scale
  • 10–12 ounces of Christmas cookies (roughly 25–30 cookies, depending on size and thickness)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 teaspoon non-alcohol vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip, thawed)
  • Festive toppings (holiday sprinkles, chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, crushed peppermint candies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: First, grab your chosen Christmas cookies and place them in a food processor. Pulse them until they form fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they're finely ground.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter and pour it over the cookie crumbs in a medium bowl. Stir everything together until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Use the bottom of a glass or your knuckles to ensure it's a compact, even layer. Once pressed, pop it into the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to chill and set while preparing the next layer.
  4. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it's smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until it's fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  6. Mix in the non-alcohol vanilla extract and the milk until the mixture is well combined and has a spreadable consistency. If it seems too thick, add another teaspoon of milk sparingly.
  7. Assemble the First Layers: Retrieve the chilled cookie crust from the refrigerator. Carefully spread the entire cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crust using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  8. Add the Whipped Topping Layer: Gently spread the thawed whipped topping over the cream cheese layer, ensuring it's an even layer covering the entire surface.
  9. Chill Thoroughly: Cover the baking dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Christmas Cookie Lasagna for at least 4-6 hours, ideally overnight.
  10. Decorate and Serve: Just before serving, remove the lasagna from the fridge and decorate with festive holiday sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or other toppings. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between slices to cut the lasagna into squares.

Nutrition

Keywords: For easier eating, slightly dampen hard cookie crumbs with milk before pressing them into the pan. For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water before each cut. Feel free to personalize flavors with different extracts or toppings.
