Provided by spring_dayzee

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 40m

Yield 15-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (16 -18 ounce) packages of your favorite premade cookie dough (I prefer Nestle)
8 ounces of your favorite softened cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325*F.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
  • With one package of cookie dough tear apart and sprinkle over the entire bottom of the pan. Spaces between cookie dough is ok and preferred. Lightly pat down. **To help from cookie dough sticking to fingers wet hands before handling.
  • With Cream Cheese, Sugar, Vanilla and Eggs, lightly mix in mixer until creamy. Little chunks of cream cheese is ok. Pour mixture over cookie dough in pan. Spread out to fill all nooks and crankies with spatula.
  • With remaining cookie dough tear apart and sprinkle over cream cheese mixture. As before spaces between cookie dough ok. Lightly pat down.
  • Place in oven for 30-35 minutes until even light browning on top or tooth pick comes out clean in middle.
  • Cut up into 15 large bars or 24 smaller ones. Eat and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy for a smooth texture.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture to prevent it from curdling.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl before adding them to the batter to prevent them from scrambling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually to avoid overmixing the batter.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting into them to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:
