Simple and delicious Strawberries and Cream Cookie Crumble Bars made with cream cheese and strawberry pie filling.
A few weeks ago I shared some Peaches and Cream bars, now it’s time to introduce you to these Strawberries and Cream Cookie Crumble Bars! They have a wonderful sugar cookie crust, sweetened cream cheese, strawberry pie filling and a delightful crumble topping that was just to die for!
The bars are going to make you a hit at the next potluck, church gathering, or book club meeting. I loved them so much and I hated giving them to my neighbor (but my waistline thanked me).
With a premade sugar cookie crust, these were quick to whip up! However, if you prefer, you can take the extra time to make your own sugar cookie dough. Completely up to you.
Your kids can help you press the cookie dough into the pan, mix the cream cheese, and crumble mixture. Kids love to help in the kitchen.
So, if you are looking for a quick and easy snack to bring to a gathering, look no further than these Strawberries and Cream Cookie Crumble Bars. I bet you already have what you need in your pantry!
I know that your family is going to love them! You can swap out the strawberry for your favorite pie filling flavor. I plan on making another tray of these this summer for a family potluck party.

Notes
This recipe was originally posted using a 9x13 baking pan, over the years of making these bars I decided that baking them in a smaller 9x9 pan yielded the best bars.
