I love to bake, but my baking goes into high gear when fall arrives. There is just something about fall. I don’t know if it is the cooler weather or the holidays approaching but for some reason I tend to bake, bake, and bake some more when the fall months hit. I love to cook too, but for some reason making sweets is what I prefer to do. A new recipe I tried this fall, that will be making it into my #FallFamilyMeals is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars! This recipe only has 4 (or 5 if you use the coconut) ingredients and really doesn’t require much effort!
The ingredients for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars are: Sugar, Egg, Cream Cheese, Pillsbury Ready-to-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies, and optional coconut)! *See measurements for ingredients at end of post in recipe form*
You simply take half the chocolate chip cookie roll and with floured fingers press into an 8×8 inch pan. Mix your cream cheese, egg, and sugar in a bowl, then pour over the chocolate chip cook, take the other half of the cookie and crumble over the cream cheese mixture!
Bake, cook, refrigerate, cut into bars and then enjoy!!
Trust me, this will be a huge hit at your Thanksgiving or Christmas get together. I would make a few batches to be safe. If you have people that aren’t fans of chocolate chip cookies (like my husband) trade it out for peanut butter, sugar or macadamia nut cookies to add a different twist!
