Red Cookie Layer

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9″x13″ baking dish with parchment paper and spray it lightly with nonstick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, butter, flour, and egg. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
3. Stir in the Andes Peppermint Crunch (or crushed peppermints) and mix.
4. Gradually add red food coloring, a little at a time, until you achieve a bright, festive red color.
5. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. For a thicker crust, use all the dough. If you prefer a thinner layer, use half the dough and reserve the rest for making cookies.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. For a thinner crust, check the cookie layer at around 15 minutes.
7. Let the cookie layer cool completely before proceeding to the next step.

White Cream Cheese Layer

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
2. Gradually add the heavy whipping cream and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. This ensures a light and fluffy texture.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled red cookie layer.
4. Place the dish in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes to allow this layer to set properly.

Green Pudding Layer

1. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the instant pudding mix and cold milk together until the mixture thickens.
2. Melt the white chocolate chips and gently fold them into the pudding mixture.
3. Slowly add green food coloring until you reach your desired shade of holiday green.
4. Spread the green pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer.
5. Return the dish to the refrigerator or freezer for another 10 minutes to let the pudding layer set.

Topping

1. Once the pudding layer is firm, spread the cool whip evenly over the top of the green layer.
2. Finish by sprinkling Andes Peppermint Crunch and mint chips evenly over the cool whip layer for a festive touch.
3. Keep the dessert in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. You can also store it in the freezer for a firmer texture.
