Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars Recipe
Snickerdoodle cheesecake cookie bars combine soft sugar cookie dough with a creamy cheesecake center and a cinnamon-sugar topping. They’re simple to make and perfect for sharing year-round.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 (16-ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (24 count)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined; set aside.
- Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the pressed cookie dough.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the dough and spread into an even layer.
- Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the cheesecake layer, then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- The bars can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
- For best results, use room-temperature, brick-style cream cheese.
