How to make Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

To make these cookie bars, simply grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugars until combined.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Press half of the dough into an 8×8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper.

For the cheesecake filling, grab a medium mixing bowl and mix together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and combined.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and flour, and mix until completely combined.

Spread the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan, and smooth out the top.

Place flattened out pieces of the remaining dough evenly on top.

Bake for 35 – 40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

TIP: For clean, neat slices, place the pan in the freezer for 1 hour before cutting into bars.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
