Deluxe 5-Ingredient Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Bars
Indulge in the ultimate dessert experience with these Easy Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Bars. Featuring a delightful fusion of homemade goodness and luxurious flavors, this recipe combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with a luscious buttery sugar cookie base.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 8oz cream cheese, softened
- One 16.5 oz tube of sugar cookie dough, slightly warmed
- Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, blend together the egg, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the roll of sugar cookie dough in half. Press one half evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the sugar cookie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Take the remaining half of the cookie dough and flatten it into “chunks.” Place these chunks evenly over the top of the cheesecake mixture. They will sink slightly during baking but will rise again to form a golden top crust.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the sugar cookie crust turns a golden brown color.
- Allow the bars to cool in the baking dish for at least an hour before slicing into squares. Once completely cooled, sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the top for a colorful finishing touch. Enjoy!
