How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Mix until crumbs are moistened.
  5. Stir in ½ cup miniature chocolate chips.
  6. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 6 minutes, or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  9. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese and ¼ cup granulated sugar at low speed until smooth.
  10. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
  11. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust.
  12. In the same large bowl (clean it first), cream together 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt at medium speed for 1 minute, or until light and fluffy.
  13. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in ½ cup all-purpose flour until just combined.
  14. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips by hand.
  15. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the cookie dough evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  16. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is dry and set when gently shaken.
  17. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  18. Melt ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled bars using a fork.
  19. Let the chocolate set completely.
  20. Lift the bars from the pan using the foil overhang.
  21. Peel away the foil and cut into 16 pieces.
  22. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.
