Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by taking a 9x13 inch dish and lightly greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 ½ cups of softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Once your cream cheese and sugar mixture is smooth, gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract using a spatula.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of instant butterscotch pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Start assembling your dessert by placing a single layer of gingerbread cookies at the bottom of your prepared dish.
Carefully spread half of the cream cheese-pudding mixture over the layer of gingerbread cookies, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Next, place another layer of gingerbread cookies on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the remaining cream cheese-pudding mixture on top of the second layer of gingerbread cookies, ensuring it covers them fully.
Place a final layer of gingerbread cookies on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the top layer of gingerbread cookies for a festive touch and aromatic flavor.
When you’re ready to indulge in your Christmas Cookie Lasagna, remove it from the refrigerator and uncover it.

Notes

Chill for at least 4 hours for best results. Garnish with crushed candy canes and mini chocolate chips just before serving.
