What Else Can You Do With Cookie Dough?
Glad you asked! Making these Cheesecake Cookie Bars is one of my favorite creative ways to use pre-made cookie dough.
You only need three additional ingredients (that you probably already have in your kitchen), to make this easy cheesecake-inspired dessert!
Ingredients For Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
Refrigerated Cookie Dough: My hack to make this dessert ridiculously easy to put together!
Cheesecake Filling: This is a simple mix of cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and an egg. The egg acts as a binder so the filling keeps its shape while remaining smooth and creamy. The cheesecake layer is then sandwiched between two layers of cookie dough, then cooked in the oven.
How To Make Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
- Press half of the refrigerate cookie dough evenly onto the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking pan that’s lined with parchment paper.
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Break the remaining cookie dough into small pieces and sprinkle them over the top of the cheesecake filling.
- Add sprinkles and/or mini chocolate chips over the top then bake until the center is only slightly jiggly.
How To Store Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
Store these bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, bet together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cheesecake filling over the top of the chocolate chip cookie dough.
Pinch half of the remaining half of the cookie dough into pieces over the top of the cheesecake filling. Sprinkle sprinkles over the top, if desired. You will have half of the cookie dough left over, feel free to just bake up as regular cookies or discard. The whole amount is too much for the topping.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the center is only slightly jiggly.
Transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack and allow to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 3 hours.
Notes
- Sugar can be reduced to 1/2 cup or increased to 1 cup for a less or more sweet filling.
- Do not prebake the cookie dough.
- The cheesecake will sink in the center slightly after cooling.
- Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
