Fabulous Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

Cheesecakes. I love them! More importantly, I love to try any dessert that includes cheesecakes as an ingredient. Oreo cheesecake cookies are just one. This is another, a recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake bars. The name is a mouthful to say, and the dessert is a feast to the eyes. It has cheesecake and chocolate chips. How fantastic is that!

I follow the recipe from www.mybakingaddiction.com. Of course, my chocolate chips melted all over, so my finished results do not look like anything that they have.

Ingredient:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 2/3 cup chocolate chips

• 10 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/4 cup sugar

Actually, there's a YouTube video from a fellow Pinterest member that I saw first before making this wonderful dessert. I love this type of videos. They're like online cooking courses. Check it out!
