Very Rich, Very good!!

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tube chocolate chip cookie refrigerated dough
1 pkg 8oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Cut coookie dough in half. For crust, press half of the dough onto the bootom of a greased 8 inch square baking pan.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth. Spread over the crust.
  • 3. Crumble remaining dough over top. Bake at 350* for 35-40, or until pick inserted near the center comes out clean, let cool. Refrigerate leftovers. ENJOY!!

Tips:

  • Use softened cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help it blend smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense bars. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan makes it easy to remove the bars from the pan once they're baked. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9x13 inch baking pan, but you'll need to carefully cut the bars out of the pan once they're cooled.
  • Don't overbake the bars: The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip cream cheese bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients and can be ready to enjoy in just over an hour. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy cheesecake filling, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
