Ingredients
Scale
- 40 oz Refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Place the cookie dough in the freezer for a few hours to make it easier to slice.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature.
- Sit one large egg out until it is at room temperature.
- Line a 13×9″ pan with parchment paper or non-stick foil to make removal easy.
- Slice half of the cookie dough into 1/4″ pieces and place them in the bottom of the lined pan.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, beat the softened cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla together using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
- Spread the cheesecake batter over the crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
- Slice the remaining cookie dough and gently place it on top of the cheesecake layer.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 35 to 40 minutes.
- Allow the bars to cool before refrigerating for a few hours.
- Slice and serve these decadent treats.

For best results, allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. These bars can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
