Ingredients
1 (18 oz) roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or non-stick foil.
Create Base:
Press a little more than half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared dish, forming an even layer.
Make Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until well combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Assemble Bars:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cookie dough layer. Crumble the remaining cookie dough evenly over the top.
Bake:
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Cool & Serve:
Allow bars to cool completely before slicing. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
Bars are best served chilled or at room temperature.
For cleaner cuts, refrigerate before slicing.
