Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Take half of the cookie dough (8 oz) and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cookie dough crust in the pan.
Crumble the remaining 8 oz of cookie dough over the top of the cheesecake layer, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
Optional: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top for extra texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top cookie dough layer is golden brown and the cheesecake layer is set.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for easier slicing.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
