Easy American Flag Cookie Dessert for the Fourth of July

This American Flag Cookie Dessert is very easy to make and is perfect for the summer. 

I was looking for a new recipe to make back in April, and I found this recipe by Betty Crocker called Strawberries and Cream Dessert Squares.  

It was beautiful, and yummy.  However, as I looked at it, I thought it would could easily be adapted for our patriotic holidays.

So for Memorial Day, I made a version of the dessert, and it was a huge success in our family!  

It is a very easy dessert to make! 

The American Flag Cookie Dessert would be perfect for the 4th of July too. 

Our main course was this awesome burger recipe.

We kept our kids busy and entertained by making 4th of July themed Crafts for a few hours

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg

-In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. Press evenly in bottom of pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
-Spread 1 container (8 ounces) of cool whip over the cooled cookie dough.
-Put blueberries in the top left hand corner of the rectangle.
-Space 7 rows of sliced strawberries out on top of the cool whip, leaving strips of white cool whip showing between the rows.
-Refrigerate until serving.

Notes

I will use a homemade sugar cookie dough instead of store bought cookie dough. This is the recipe I use: http://creativekkids.com/sugar-cookies-food-linky/
I make it and do not refrigerate it. I just add enough flour where I can pat it out and it does not stick to my hands. Then I make the cookie according to the directions above.
