Cookie Dough Cheesecake Brownie Bars

April 4, 2012 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 27 Comments

Yeah, I pretty much stuffed three desserts into one pan. And guess what? It tastes pretty freak’n awesome. The cheesecake acts as the mediator between the richness of the chocolate and the sweetness of the cookie dough.

Seriously, I don’t know what came over me with this recipe. This bikini killer is super rich and decadent-it borders on disgustingly rich. Okay, that last part-not true at all, although that was Matt’s response when he first heard the description.

No taste testers on this one, so here’s my one sentence review: Party in your mouth. To follow that up, let me warn you this treat is going to get even better. That’s right I took it a step further, but the reveal will come tomorrow along with what inspired me to go kinda crazy on this one.

Until then make this as is or wait for the added embellishment that will ruin any workout efforts for the month. (Now posted here).

A few notes:

  • For this recipe I used ready made cookie dough. Gasp! I already got flak for it from two other bloggers when I Instagram-ed about it, but that’s what happens when you run out of your stuff and you are lazy.
  • To shortcut the time, you can try using boxed brownie mix. I haven’t tested this recipe doing that, so if someone does, please come back and let the rest of us know.
  • Don’t be intimidated by the 3 dessert component, as I mentioned you can use store bought cookie dough, boxed brownie (untested) and the cheesecake portion is a one bowl cheesecake recipe.
  • I forgot to use a foil sling for the pan, so don’t be like me. Sling your pan, it will be easier to remove the brownie.

Cookie Dough Cheesecake Brownies

Makes one 8×8 pan | Preparation: Create a foil sling by lining the pan with foil so that there is a one inch overhang on each side. Cover foil with bake spray.

Ingredients:

Chocolate chip cookie dough

– ½ of 1 package Nestle Toll House pre-made cookie dough

Cheesecake

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

Brownie (adapted from Alice Medrich)

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4oz. unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Cookie dough preparation

Crumble half of cookie dough mixture.

To make cheesecake

Add all ingredients in a bowl and beat until blended. Set aside.

To make brownie

  1. Place butter and chocolate in a double boiler or a bowl over simmering water. Stir frequently until mixture is melted. Remove chocolate mixture from heat and stir in sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring until each is incorporated before adding the next. Stir in flour and beat with a wooden spoon until mixture is glossy about 1 minute. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. Pour 3/4 of brownie mixture into pan. Layer cheesecake mixture on top. Sprinkle crumbled cookie dough on top of cheesecake layer. Pour remaining brownie mixture on top. Use a skewer or a fork and drag it through the brownie and cheesecake mixture to create a swirled top.
  2. Bake for about 30-40 minutes at 400 degrees F. Brownie will will be fudgy and cheesecake layer will be creamy.

    These look awesome and I made cheesecake chocolate cake bars last week. I used, gasp, a Devil’s Food cake chocolate cake as the base, then doctored it up with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, white and dark choc chips, and baked. As busy moms, we all do what we can and premade cookie dough (or a cake mix) still turns out fabulously!

    Reminds me of the cookie dough cheesecake bars, but you took it a step up by making it brownie!

    HAHAHAHA! I could barely even look at this without the fear I’d gain a bazillion pounds. You create such pure, delicious evil, my friend. 😉

    As soon as I recruit the help of a fork lift somewhere, maybe I can get my pan into the oven! Oh my, it’s heavy! I did make my own cookie dough (and adjusted it for high elevation); wasn’t sure how many ounces in a package of Nestle cookie dough, so just dropped the dough by half teaspoons onto the cheesecake mixture. Backing up a second, I did use a box cake mix and a recipe I found online to turn it into brownies. Are you sure the cookie dough should go on top of the cheesecake? I wasn’t able to swirl the cheesecake with the brownie mixture on top because the cookie dough was in the way. I’m cautious about the 400-deg. temp, but we’ll see how they turn out. This was fun, though. Thanks for the cool idea!

  15. Cat says

    April 6, 2012 at 2:38 am

    Oh – I made it in a 9×13 pan, so I’m not kidding about how heavy it is!

    Next time I’ll try your brownie recipe. Nothing wrong with mine, but too much chocolate – there is much more lighter color in your brownies. And I’ll double the cheesecake recipe and put the cookie dough under the cheesecake mixture in order to get the whiter swirls on top. I had to lower the oven temp to 375 after 15 minutes, as the edges were starting to get burned; it took 40 minutes total. The insides look very nice… will have to have someone taste test them, as I dare not even take a chance. I suspect it’d be like eating one potato chip.

    Hello!

    At first I thought: Oh my Gosh what an amazing receipe, I’m sure I can’t make it.
    Then a decided to give it a chance.
    I didn’t use store-made cookie dough, because in my country there isn’t any, so I made it myself.
    These brownies are incredibly delicious!!!!
    Party in your mouth… That’s exactly what I could say about this dessert.
    Thanks very much, for the receipe!!

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag.
