There are lots of different ways to make cheesecake bars and I have some fabulous recipes on Mom On Timeout that you can check out if you’re looking for a different flavor:
Instead of making cheesecake in a springform pan, cheesecake bars are made in 8-inch, 9-inch or 9×13 baking pans. This makes them easier to cut into bars.
Like traditional cheesecake recipes, cheesecake bars often feature some sort of crust. In these Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars, I’m using chocolate chip cookie dough as the crust. It makes the cheesecake bars easier to hold and handle.
I’m not sure there are two things in my life that I love more than chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake… Straight up awesome.
Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars
- I made these cheesecake bars in a 9-inch square pan. You can use an 8-inch square pan if you want slightly thicker bars. Add 2 minutes to the baking time.
- Make sure to let these bars chill completely so they cut up cleanly. Clean your knife in between cuts as well.
- Use high quality refrigerated cookie dough for the best results.
