Cookie Dough Cheesecake Squares


I guess we havn't put anything on here for a while. I'm trying to be on a diet of sorts, which means no treats........ but as you can see by this post it's not exactly going well. These bars are really good, especially if you want cheesecake but don't want to go to all the trouble of making an actual cheesecake.

2 (18 oz.) packages refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (This time I used homemade cookie dough and it worked just fine. It's really good either way.)
2 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese
1/2 c. sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Cut one roll of cookie dough into 24 slices; arrange slices in bottom of greased 9x13 pan. Press slices together to cover bottom of the pan. Beat the cream cheese in a mixer until creamy. Slowly add the sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Add vanilla. Pour cream cheese mixture over the cookie dough. Cut remaining cookie dough into 24 slices. Arrange dough slices over cream cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. I definitely think these are best cold out of the fridge. Yum!
