- 30 butter cookies
- 2 cups sliced strawberries

Top the cookies with half of the cheesecake filling, spreading evenly.
Next add a layer of the sliced strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
Top with remaining cookies.
Add remaining cheesecake filling, spreading to the edges of the pan.
Finish with remaining berries, creating a flag design if desired.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days before serving.

Substitutions: Graham crackers can be used in place of the butter cookies. Frozen berries can be used but need to be thawed and well drained. Sweetened whipped cream can be substituted for Cool Whip.
