Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

December 14, 2011 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 22 Comments

You love cookies, you love cheesecake— heck you love dessert, so do I! Let’s celebrate it with a mash-up of two classics: chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake. What’s not love?

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

Here’s a question, have you ever been caught double fisting food like a toddler in a high chair or opening wide for a bite, by wide I mean, when your jaw becomes unhinged-not attractive.

Keeping those two things in mind and having a bowl left of chocolate chip cookie dough, I decided time to get a mash-up going in a mini sort of way by using Wilton’s mini brownie pan. I have to admit I was a little worried they would be difficult to pop out or they just might crumble while being removed from the pan, but neither proved to be true.

The best part about these bars is they are super  easy to make and always a hit.  

A few notes:

  • For the chocolate chip cookie portion, I used my favorite recipe found here. Feel free to use your favorite recipe or ready-made cookie dough to short cut the time.
  • You can bypass using the brownie bite pan and just use a regular 8×8 pan and then increase the bake time to 30minutes.
  • If you are using Wilton’s Brownie Bite pan, it works out much better if you prep each well manually by smearing the bake spray in each well one at a time, rather than doing a sweeping spray of the whole pan. The latter tends to leave heavy pools of bake spray here and there.
  • Do not try to remove these from the pan while warm or they will crumble. Once cooled the bars will pull away slightly from the walls and make for easy removal.
  • Unrelated: Bark recipe will be up tomorrow . . . I’m really excited about this one! And don’t forget to enter the LeCreuset Holiday giveaway here.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

24 mini bites (using Wilton’s Brownie Bite pan) | Preparation: Heat oven 350 degrees F. Cover each well with bake  spray.

Chocolate chip cookie dough:

Cheesecake:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Add cream cheese and sugar in a bowl and beat until well blended. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until blended.
  2. Press approximately ½ teaspoon of dough into each well. Add approximately ½ teaspoon of cheesecake mixture on top of bottom layer. Crumble remaining cookie dough and spread on top of cheesecake layer.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or until inserted toothpick into the cheesecake portion comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and place on a wire rack to completely cool before removing chocolate chip cookie and cheesecake bars. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

    Why goodbye any of those weight loss goals I may have teased myself with for 2012 and hello heaven. These bars look awesome.

    What a delicious looking combination! Cream cheese and chocolate are definitely two of my favorite baking ingredients.

    I made these when family came over they were a hit with everyone!
    I had to change two things: I only had light brown sugar so I added 1-tsp of molasses to help give the cookie dough the flavor that was talked about. Then I only had salted butter so I cut back on the salt amount of the recipe to 1/2 tsp. Using the mini-muffin tins I was able to make 48 of these pop in your mouth treats.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
