Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars are a wonderful marriage of two of my favorite dessert treats. A cheesecake filling is nestled between a chocolate chip cookie crust, with dollops of the cookie batter on top.
Bring these cookie dough cheesecake bars to the next potluck and see them fly off the platter. The enticing combination of cream cheese filling and chocolate chip cookies is hard to resist.

How to Make Cheesecake Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars are quite easy to make, especially with a few visual cues... so, here you go (full recipe below).
Ingredients you will need:
Homemade Cookie Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ⅔ cup Butter, softened
- ½ cup Sugar
- ⅔ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cup Chocolate Chips
Filling:
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Directions
To start, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Also coat the liner with nonstick cooking spray.
The chocolate chip cookie dough is prepared by first whisking the flour, baking soda and salt together.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and the sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and whip together.
Then combine the mixture with the dry ingredients until well mixed, then fold in chocolate chips.
Quick Hack >> Speed prep along by using a couple packages of store bought refrigerated cookie dough rather than mixing the dough from scratch.
⅔ of the dough is pressed into a pan to form the underlying crust.
Mix together the cheesecake filling ingredients. This cream cheese mixture is then spread over the cookie crust.
The remaining chocolate chip cookie dough is broken up over the cheesecake layer.
Then it is ready to bake for approximately 40 minutes, until cream cheese has set and edges of cookie have lightly browned.
