CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CHEESECAKE BARS

Because I’m all about options, please feel free to use your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie dough in place of the refrigerated dough. This also allows you to add nuts or other add-ins should you desire.
So let’s talk about these cookie bars. I’m kind of in love with cookie bars in general. They are so much easier to make than actual cookies! No scooping and batch baking – everything happens at once. These bars do need to cool to allow the cheesecake layer to set up, but boy are they worth the wait!
Y’all know how much I love easy recipes. With just 5 ingredients, these easy bars are definitely a winner in my book. The cheesecake layer is simple but oh-so creamy. Just cream cheese, sugar, an egg and some vanilla extract are all you need.

Ingredients

• 1 18 oz roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg room temperature
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or non-stick foil. Set aside.
3. Spread a little more than half of the cookie dough onto the bottom of the baking dish and press down firmly creating an even layer.
4. Using a stand mixer or hand held mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
5. Add in the sugar and beat until combined.
