  Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray. Mix the sugar cookie mix with the butter and egg until combined. Press the dough into the bottom of the baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until just turning brown and then cool completely on a cooling rack.

  Beat the cream cheese until smooth with a hand mixer and then add in the melted chips and mix until combined. Spread the cream cheese and chips over the crust and refrigerate. In a small bowl, smash approximately 1-1 1/2 cups of the strawberries with 1/3 cup water, cornstarch and sugar. Place this in a small saucepan and heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens. Allow this to cool for 10-15 minutes and then stir in the remaining strawberries. Spoon over the filling and refrigerate until ready to serve. This dessert is also great with a dollop of whipped cream!
