Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even base layer.
Bake the cookie base in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
While the cookie base cools, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
Spread the cream layer evenly over the cooled cookie base.
Top the cream layer with the diced fresh strawberries, distributing them evenly across the surface.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to set before slicing into squares.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Strawberries and Cream Dessert Squares!
