Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Crust:

  • 1 (16.5-ounce) tube sugar cookie dough

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • Optional: Powdered sugar (for added sweetness)

Optional Garnish:

  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until the mixture is smooth. Add powdered sugar if desired.
  3. Form the Crust: Press half of the sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to form the crust layer.
  4. Add Cheesecake Layer: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the sugar cookie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Top Layer: Break the remaining dough into small chunks and distribute them over the cheesecake layer.
  6. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown. Watch closely to prevent over-browning.
  7. Cool and Garnish: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Add sprinkles for decoration.
  8. Serve: Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • You can customize the sweetness of the cheesecake filling by adjusting the amount of powdered sugar added.
