Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for cookie dough)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (for cookie dough)
- 2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese and 0.75 cups granulated sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs (2) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined, then set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a cookie dough forms.
Stir in 1.5 cups of the chocolate chips, leaving the rest for topping.
Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cookie dough layer and spread evenly.
Dollop the remaining cookie dough on top of the cream cheese layer in small spoonfuls, leaving some of the cream cheese layer visible.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
