Chocolate Chip Cherry Cheesecake Bars
Chocolate Chip Cherry Cheesecake bars are so easy to make. The secret? They are made with refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough!
Ingredients
- 1 - 16 ounce pkg refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 1 - 8 ounce pkg of cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment that extends up over the sides a bit.
- Press about half the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth. Add cherries and mix on low just until combined. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie dough.
- Using the remaining cookie dough, break into pieces and crumble over the cream cheese filling. Press down lightly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until well chilled before cutting into bars,
Notes
Before making each cut, run the knife under hot water and dry with a towel. This will result in clean slices.
