Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

MMMM….. Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars. Who doesn’t love the taste of a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven? And let’s not forget about the creamy and decadent delight that is cheesecake. Individually, these desserts are divine, but have you ever wondered what would happen if we combined them together?

Notes

Tip 1
When making your cheesecake mixture, this recipe calls for softened or room temperature cream cheese. Softened cream cheese is creamier when mixed and easier to blend with the other ingredients. If your cream cheese is too cold, your mixture will be lumpy.
Tip 2
If you don’t have time to wait for your cream cheese to soften at room temperature, remove the cream cheese from its packaging and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the cream cheese in 10-second increments until it’s soft, but not too warm.
Tip 3
Be careful not to over mix your batter. Too much air can cause the cheesecake to rise too rapidly in the oven and crack. You can avoid this by mixing the cream cheese and sugar thoroughly and gently blend once you add the egg.
