Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (approx. 17-18 oz) chocolate chip cookie mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (for cheesecake filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chip cookie mix, melted butter, and 1 large egg. Stir until a dough forms.
Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the base layer. Set aside the remaining dough for the topping.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 large egg to the cream cheese. Beat again until well combined and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cookie dough base in the baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula as needed.
Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the top of the cheesecake layer. It doesn’t have to completely cover the cheesecake; small gaps are fine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set (a slight jiggle is normal).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Once chilled, cut into 12 bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
