Preparation

Step 1

Smash shortbread cookies in a ziploc bag, till fine (I like to use the food processor for this). Add melted butter to shortbread (I also do this in the food processor).

Press crumbs into a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes in the oven until golden. Let cool.

Mix together cream cheese, sugar and 2 cups of your cool whip. Pour an even layer over crushed cookie crust.

Mix the milk and pudding mix together till it thick. Pour over the cream cheese layer.

Spread your remaining cool whip over the top and refrigerate.
