Whether you’re baking for a party or a family dessert, these cheesecake bars will be a hit!

Ingredients:

• 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 (16.5-ounce) rolls refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9- x 13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set the filling aside for now.

3. Prepare the Cookie Dough Base:
Slice the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough rolls into ¼-inch-thick slices. Take one roll and press the slices evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring there are no gaps between the slices.

4. Add the Cheesecake Layer:
Once the cookie dough base is prepared, evenly spoon the cheesecake mixture over the dough, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.

5. Add the Top Cookie Dough Layer:
Slice the second roll of cookie dough into ¼-inch-thick pieces, and place them evenly over the cheesecake layer. Try to cover as much of the cheesecake filling as possible without pressing down too hard.

6. Bake the Bars:
Bake the cheesecake bars for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is slightly firm. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the bars to remain soft and creamy.

7. Cool and Chill:
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the bars until they are well chilled, at least a couple of hours. This will help the bars set and make them easier to cut.

8. Serve:
Once chilled, cut the bars into squares and serve. These Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars are perfect as a decadent dessert or a sweet treat for any gathering!
