Raspberry-White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookie Bars image

When it comes to choosing which desserts I'm going to add to my arsenal of recipes, I almost always stick to the unfussy classics -- cakes, cookies, bars, and, in this case, cheesecake cookie bars! This recipe blends the dense, pan-baked goodness of a bar with layers of cheesecake and cookie dough that are dotted with white chocolate and fresh raspberries. There is no bake-off or bake sale that you can't win with these.

Time 3h35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (2 sticks/225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (110 g) brown sugar
1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups (205 g) white chocolate chips
1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries
8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make the cookie layer: In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3 minutes, until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix on low speed until the ingredients are incorporated. Fold in 1 cup (165 g) of the white chocolate chips.
  • To make the cheesecake layer: In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla and mix for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is very smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9 by 13-inch (23 by 33-cm) baking pan with parchment paper with a little hanging over the sides. Press slightly more than half of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of the pan to make one even layer. Spread the cheesecake mixture on top of the cookie dough. Crumble the remaining cookie dough and sprinkle it on top of the cheesecake mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup (40 g) white chocolate chips and the raspberries.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cookie dough is golden brown. Remove the bars from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Transfer them to the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight if time allows (don?t skip this part). Cut into bars and serve.

CHEESECAKE COOKIE BARS



Cheesecake Cookie Bars image

These are soooooo yummy! They are always a hit wherever I take them!

Provided by Lori Borgmann

Categories     Other Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough (roll)
1 pkg refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (roll)
2 - 8oz pkg cream cheese - softened
1 c sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 13X9-inch pan with cooking spray. Break up peanut butter cookie dough into 3 pieces. (one on each end and one in the middle) Press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust. (*HINT* I put a plastic bag over my hand to avoid the cookie dough sticking to me - worked great!)
  • 2. In small bowl with electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cookie crust in pan. Break chocolate chip cookie dough into small pieces; evenly drop pieces over cream cheese mixture. (again I used a plastic bag over my hand to prevent the cookie dough from sticking)
  • 3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until top is lightly browned and cheesecake is set. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled before serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier cheesecake filling, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help it set properly.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder in the cookie dough.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.

Conclusion:

Cheesecake cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a creamy cheesecake filling and a chewy chocolate chip cookie crust, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cheesecake cookie bars a try!
