Chocolate Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

IMG_2863 2

I am just writing this post after submitting the last assignment of my life. I do have a dissertation due, but this is the last assignment ever. I'm pretty saturated with all the writing, so I'm going to keep this one short.

I was assigned Dancing Veggies blog, and had a lot of great options, but picked these bars, but forgot a step where I had to add the chips into the cookie layer. I made up for it by putting a chocolate layer on top, and these tasted amazing. I've changed up the proportions a bit, because I feel they need more of the cheesecake taste.

Chocolate Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
Inspired by Dancing Veggies

1 cup [120 g] flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 stick [113 g / 8 oz] butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips - or alternately, you can add a chocolate layer like I did, following this recipe
For the cheesecake layer.
16 oz cream cheese
4 tbsp white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions -
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease and line a 9x9 pan, with overhang
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Now beat in the egg and mix well.
  4. Add the flours to the butter mixture, and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using. Lay this onto the pan.
  5. In a clean bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla. Pour onto the cookie dough layer. Bake for 25 minutes, until the center is a little jiggly and the sides are set. 
  6. Cool, and if using a chocolate layer, pour on top. Cut into squares and serve.
