cooking spray
1 (17.5 ounce) pouch sugar cookie mix
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash red food coloring, or desired amount

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the inside bottom of a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.

I was looking for something to do with a strawberry cake mix that I had hanging around. I found these in a cookbook, Quick Fixes with Cake Mixes. As the into says "if you like cheescake or pastries with cheese filling, you'll really like these..."
