Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature (1 block)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16 ounce) package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough 24 count
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom and side of an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy with a hand or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat on low until just combined.
- Press 2/3 (16 cookies) of the cookie dough into an even layer into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the cheesecake layer over the sugar cookie dough and smooth into an even layer with a rubber spatula.
- Slightly flatten the remaining cookie dough and break it into pieces. Place the cookie dough over the cheesecake layer and sprinkle over the sprinkles.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for 2 hours to set.
- Remove the cookie bars from the pan, slice, serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- While you can technically freeze these bars, it's not recommended as freezing can alter the texture of the cheesecake layer. If you do choose to freeze them, wrap individual bars tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
