How to Make Mocha Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
- In a medium bowl, crumble 1 ½ cups of chocolate chip cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan. Press firmly into the bottom to create a crust.
- In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) of softened cream cheese, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until completely smooth and creamy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or coffee crystals, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon water until the crystals are fully dissolved.
- Gradually add the coffee mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie dough crust.
- Sprinkle ½ cup mini chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Once completely cool, cut into bars and serve.
