Print Recipe

These chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars combine two favorite desserts into one irresistible treat. A cookie dough base is topped with creamy cheesecake filling and more cookie dough chunks for a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (16 oz) tubes refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (or 36 oz total)
  • 3 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish (or line with parchment for easy lifting).
  2. Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan to form a base.
  3. Bake the cookie base for 10 minutes (it should look lightly set, not fully done). Remove from oven.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until creamy.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla. Stir in sour cream (if using) and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the warm cookie base and spread evenly.
  7. Pinch remaining cookie dough into small chunks and scatter over the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips across the surface.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
  9. Cool at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, then refrigerate at least 3 hours (overnight is best) before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • For cleaner cuts, chill the bars thoroughly before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
