it was Thursday evening and we needed something
sweet.
like we desperately needed something.
so what to do when you need a quick sinful-like
dessert?
pinterest…. where you can find a ton of how-to’s for every impulsive
thought you have. i say this bc I know, ..obviously.
this was the second dessert that popped up and it
involved
cookie dough so that’s how we decided.
here is the link in case you want to go straight to
it.
or here are all the deets.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
Crust:
*1 ½ C graham crackers
*5 T butter, melted
Cookie Dough:
*5 T butter, room temp.
*1/3 C packed light brown sugar
*3 T sugar
*1/4 t salt
*1 t vanilla extract
*3/4 C flour
*2/3 C chocolate chips
Cheesecake Filling:
*10 oz cream cheese, room temp
*1/4 C sugar
*1 large egg
*1 t vanilla extract
preheat oven to 325.
line an 8” pan with wax paper and spray with
nonstick cooking spray.
mix the melted butter and graham crackers until
thoroughly combined.
press the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
bake in oven for 6 min. remove pan and let cool.
in a bowl prepare the cookie dough. beat together
butter, brown sugar, sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth and thoroughly
combined. mix in flour on low speed. then mix in the chocolate chips. this
mixture will be dry and crumbly…that’s ok…set aside.
now in another bowl cream together the cream cheese
and sugar until smooth. mix in the egg and vanilla on low speed. pour cheesecake
batter into the crust. use your hands to form clumps of cookie dough, smoosh it
together and flatten it out. distribute the cookie dough on top of the
cheesecake batter in teaspoon sized clumps.
bake for 30 min until the pan when given a shake is
firm. chill in refrigerator or freezer if your trying to hurry up the process…like
we were.
i give this recipe a 6-7 out of 10.
they look really good and the ingredients are the
just right thing.
but if you
happen to be dieting, let me help you by saying “DON”T DO IT” you can
hold out….hehe.
did that work.
O.k now go turn on some Ben Rector and get to
baking.
Have a great weekend!
