Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie
These Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bars were the hit at a graduation party we attended but were covered in powdered sugar and chocolate syrup. Yes.. they were good – but it was just too much sugar for me. My version is lower in calories and although they do not induce a sugar coma, they are a wonderful treat to any event.
Ingredients:
3 packages cream cheese (8 oz) (room temp)
3 eggs
3/4 cup Splenda or sugar blend
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tubes of refrigerator chocolate chip cookie dough (16.5 oz each or 1 large 30 oz tube)
Directions:
~ In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth (3-4 minutes).
~ Slice one of the cookie dough rolls into 1/4-inch slices (or half if using the larger tube).
~ Place slices on the bottom of a greased 9- x 13-inch baking dish.
~ Press down on the cookie dough slices to make a crust.
~ Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie dough crust.
~ Slice the other cookie dough rolls into 1/4-inch slices (or half if using the larger tube).
~ Place slices on top of cream cheese mixture, pressing gently to spread out over mixture. (or crumble top layer over mixture)
~ Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until top of cookie is golden brown. Center will still be soft.
Allow to cool completely before slicing.
Wow! These look really elegant and decadent, but sound like anyone could do them. Great instructions and simple ingredients. I really like that yours are less sugar and calories. My first thoughts were they look delicious but way too sweet and rich for me. Hearing you break it down and make it better makes me want to try them.
I will haveee to try making these!! I had never thought of putting cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies together! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my, oh my, oh my!
I have got to make these. They look amazing!

Sounds easy enough and looks yummy! Adding it to my Desserts board on Pinterest!!
These cookies look delicious–I never tried baking with a cream cheese mixture–and I definitely like that you lowered the sugar~
They look delicious however we can’t eat eggs so my cookies have to be eggless.
These look awesome! I copied the recipe! Thank You
These sound awesome, I agree that the lower sugar version just sounds so much better.
My two favorite snacks combined! These look absolutely amazing. Thanks a ton for sharing this!
These look delicious!!! I will have to try making these cookies (although I generally end up burning cookies, lol)

The pictures alone make me hungry to try them.
