Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.33 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Prepared caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup Toffee bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, and set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and one egg until smooth and creamy. This will form the cheesecake layer.
Press half of the cookie dough mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form the base layer.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie dough base, spreading it into an even layer.
Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the cheesecake layer, followed by sprinkling the toffee bits on top.
Take small pieces of the remaining cookie dough and flatten them with your fingers, then place them over the cheesecake layer. It's okay if there are gaps, as the dough will spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, then slice into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
