Table of Contents
I’m not sure you can pack any more rich decadence into a single dessert than we have with these Oreo chocolate chip cheesecake cookie bars. Layers of crushed Oreo cookies, creamy cheesecake, and chocolate chip cookie dough have something for everyone all packed into this one treat.
Oreo Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bars Ingredients
From the first bite, your taste buds are met with a delightful combination of creamy cheesecake, crunchy Oreo pieces, and gooey chocolate chips.
The texture is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of chewiness and softness, making each bite an explosion of flavor.
You’ll need:
For The Oreo Crust:
- 30 Oreo cookies, crushed (with the cream center)
- ½ cup of salted sweet cream butter, melted
For The Cheesecake Layer:
- 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
- ⅔ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon of pure almond extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
For The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layer:
- 1 (16.5-ounce) tube of premade chocolate chip cookie dough
PRO TIP:
You can crush the Oreos in a food processor or in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin to get the pieces small enough to make the crust.
Substitutions And Additions
DOUGH: You can substitute homemade chocolate chip cookie dough for the premade cookie dough in this easy recipe.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You can add crumbled Oreos or chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture for an extra indulgent treat.
COOKIE DOUGH: You can substitute sugar cookie dough for the chocolate chip cookie dough in these dessert bars.
How To Make This Oreo Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bars Recipe
These cookie bars have three distinct layers. First, you will make the Oreo cookie crust. Once that is ready, you will top it with the tangy cream cheese layer, followed by the cookie dough topping.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
STEP TWO: Using a small bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and the melted butter.
STEP THREE: Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of the pan. Set it aside.
STEP FOUR: In the bowl of a stand mixer or a medium bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes until smooth.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure there are no lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
STEP FIVE: Add the granulated sugar and continue mixing for 1 to 1½ minutes.
STEP SIX: Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, and continue mixing until combined.
STEP SEVEN: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg.
STEP EIGHT: Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the Oreo cookie crust. Set it aside.
STEP NINE: Cut the prepared cookie dough into four sections. Flatten the dough and lay it on top of the cheesecake layer. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Allow the bars to rest for 30 minutes, cover and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
PRO TIP:
Don’t worry about sealing the cookie dough; it will easily seal itself as it bakes.
STEP TEN: Remove from the fridge and remove from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper. Place the bars on a large cutting board. Slice into sixteen 2¼-inch x 2¼-inch pieces.
How To Serve These Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Bars
