Indulge in these decadent Slutty Cheesecake Bars that combine rich chocolate cookie dough with a creamy cheesecake layer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Press half of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie dough layer in the pan.
- Dollop the remaining cookie dough on top of the cheesecake layer, spreading it out gently with a spatula. It’s okay if some cheesecake shows through.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
- For best results, chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to help them set.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding crushed Oreos or your favorite candy pieces into the cookie dough for extra flavor.
- You can also substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a different taste.
