Description
Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Bars combine the sweetness of sugar cookies with a creamy cheesecake layer for a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 (16.5-ounce) tube sugar cookie dough
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- Optional: Sprinkles
- Optional: Powdered sugar (for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar if desired for sweetness.
- Cut sugar cookie dough in half. Press one half evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- Pour cream cheese mixture over the cookie crust, spreading evenly.
- Break remaining cookie dough into small, flattened chunks and distribute evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Watch closely toward the end to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Add sprinkles if desired.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- You can add powdered sugar to adjust sweetness according to your taste.
- Using sprinkles is optional, but they add a festive touch for celebrations.
- Cool the bars completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
