Cheesecake Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the chocolate chip cookie dough: In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Press half of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Transfer the remaining cookie dough to another bowl, cover, and refrigerate while you make the filling. Rinse the mixing bowl and paddle attachment for reuse.
• For the cheesecake filling: In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy, 5 minutes. Add the egg, sour cream, cornstarch and vanilla, and mix until combined.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate chip layer in the baking pan. In pieces, scatter the remaining cookie dough over the top until the surface is almost covered¿this will become a crust when baked
• Bake until set and starting to turn golden brown on top, 45 minutes¿if it jiggles, bake longer. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Cut into squares for serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Press 1/2 of the cookie dough into the bottom of prepared dish. Mix cream cheese, sugar, and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; spread over cookie dough in baking dish. Crumble remaining cookie dough over cream cheese layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set in the middle, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, cut butter into cookie mix using fork or pasty blender.
• Stir in 1 egg until mixture is crumbly.
• Gently spoon 3 cups crumb mixture into pan; press into bottom of pan.
• Bake 15 minutes.
• In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, 2 eggs and the vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Pour over cookie crust.
• Spoon remaining crumb mixture over cream cheese.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Cool 30 minutes.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled.
• For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows.
• Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, sugars, vanilla, salt and vinegar. Beat in the egg, then the baking soda and flour. Stir in the chocolate chips. Divide the dough into two equal portions and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl cream the cream cheese with the sugar until thoroughly combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
• In a 9x13 pan, spread 1/2 of the cookie dough mixture evenly across the bottom. (This is somewhat tricky to do. I find it easier to add dollops of cookie dough throughout the pan and then spread all the dollops together. Spread the cream cheese mixture on the top of the cookie dough. With the remaining cookie dough, flatten chunks of dough between your hands into discs, and then place on top of the cream cheese mixture. (The dough discs don't have to touch, just place them near each other so they cover the surface as well as possible.).
• Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is brown and cooked through. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. Alternatively melt the butter in a small saucepan. Brush some butter on the inside of a 9-by-13-inch pan and cool the remaining butter slightly. Whisk the remaining cooled butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spoon or spatula, taking care not to over mix. The batter should be thick and all of the flour mixture should be fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the edges are browned and the center is completely set, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, at least one hour, cut into 24 pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth.
• If using coconut stir inches.
• Remove half of the dough from wrapper.
• Press half of the dough into bottom of an ungreased 9 or 8 inch square pan.
• Spread cream cheese mixture over dough.
• Crumble and sprinkle remaining half of cookie dough over cream cheese mixture.
• Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Cool 30 minutes.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour until chilled.
• Cut into bars and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prep a 9 x 13 pan by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter, sugars, salt and vanilla. Beat in the egg, then the baking soda and flour.
• Stir in the chocolate chips, caramel bits and toffee pieces.
• Divide mixture in half. Spread half of the dough evenly into the prepared pan. I use my fingers to do this. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and white sugar until fully blended. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Mix until completely smooth.
• Pour and spread cheesecake layer over the pressed cookie dough layer.
• Using your hands, press pieces of the remaining dough into flat discs. Lay on top of the cheesecake layer. You don't have to have the entire cheesecake layer totally covered. In fact, leaving a bit of the cheesecake layer peeking through in spots looks good once the bars bake and cool.
• Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until the bars are cooked through and top is lightly brown.
• Allow to cool completely before removing from pan by way of the parchment paper.
• Once cooled and removed from pan, cut into twelve equal bars.
• Store in refrigerator.
• NOTE: If you use the caramel bits in this recipe, allow the bars to come almost to room temperature (after refrigerating) prior to serving. The caramel bits harden up a bit in the fridge.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a small bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until thoroughly combined. Chill filling until ready to use.
• Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating until blended, about 30 seconds.
• Stir 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed, until just blended. Beat in chocolate chips until just combined. Refrigerate dough until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Use a medium, or 2-tablespoon, cookie scoop to place 8 scoops of the cookie dough on one of the prepared baking sheets, spaced 3 inches apart. Gently flatten each scoop to about 3 inches in diameter. Drop 2 teaspoonfuls of the cream cheese filling in the center of each cookie. Gently wrap the dough around the cream cheese and shape into a ball; press the cookies down slightly. Keep remaining dough and filling chilled.
• Bake the first batch in the preheated oven until golden and set around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and cream cheese mixture.
