Oreo Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
Description
The recipe begins with a crust made from crushed Oreos blended with melted butter, pressed into the bottom of a baking pan. A smooth mixture of cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla forms the cheesecake layer spread over the crust. Flattened portions of prepared chocolate chip cookie dough are placed atop the cheesecake filling, covering it completely before baking.
The bars bake until the top sets and edges brown, resulting in a multi-layered dessert with a crisp crust, creamy filling, and chewy cookie topping. Cooling and refrigeration help the bars firm up for easier slicing.
These bars combine classic flavors of Oreo, cheesecake, and chocolate chip cookie, making them versatile for dessert tables, celebrations, or indulgent treats. Leftover cookie dough can be used for additional cookies or snacking.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 cream cheese 8 oz package, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Chocolate Chip Cookie dough prepared, 16.5 oz package
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 11x7 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Crush Oreo cookies in a large, resealable zip top bag with a meat mallet or large soup can. (You could also crush them using your blender or food processor.) Combine the crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, mixing until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of prepared baking pan.
- In a separate medium sized bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer until nice and smooth. Spread over the top of Oreo crust.
- Remove cookie dough from package and use your hands to flatten small clumps to cover the cheesecake filling. Continue adding flattened pieces of cookie dough until the top is completely covered. You may have some dough left over to make cookies with, or just to snack on. :)
- Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until top is set and edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before slicing to help bars set up completely. If you're like me, taking a warm gooey slice is perfectly acceptable before doing that step, though! Enjoy!
