directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie dough, sprinkles and flour until well incorporated. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking pan and press down into an even layer.
  • Bake until golden brown around the edges and the center has just set, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Beat the cream cheese, sugar and milk until well combined. Stir in the frozen whipped topping. Pour over the sugar crust and set in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Place the strawberry jell-o in one large bowl, and the lime jell-o in a second bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water into each bowl and stir until completely dissolved. Stir 3/4 cup cold water into each bowl and refrigerate both for 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the green mixture into the baking dish, over the cream cheese layer and spread out evenly. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the strawberries into the strawberry jell-o and then pour over the green jell-o layer and spread out evenly. Chill until firm, about 1-2 hours.
  • Cut into bars and serve with a dollop of whipped topping and sprinkles.
