Toppings
- 2 cups of whipped topping
- 1 cup of crushed peppermint candies

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the sugar cookie base.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: Prepare the sugar cookie dough according to the package instructions and press it evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish to form the base layer.
- Bake Cookie Base: Bake the cookie dough for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before assembling the layers.

- Add Whipped Topping: Spread a layer of whipped topping over the cream cheese layer to add lightness and sweetness.
- Sprinkle Mix-ins: Evenly sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies and chocolate chips over the whipped topping layer, adding festive flavor and texture.
- Top with Whipped Topping and Sprinkles: Add the remaining whipped topping on top of the candies and chocolate chips, smoothing it out, then garnish with holiday sprinkles for a festive finish.
- Chill and Set: Place the assembled lasagna in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the layers to set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cookie base is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent melting.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, you can add a drop of peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- This dessert can be made up to one day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Substitute holiday sprinkles with any festive decoration according to your preference.
