Easy Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Bars are my idea of the perfect dessert. Semi-homemade yet full of decadence, this semi-homemade bar cookie recipe stars cheesecake atop a buttery sugar cookie crust.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 8oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- One 16.5 oz tube of sugar cookie dough, at almost room temp
- Rainbow sprinkles
How To Make 5-Ingredient Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray; set aside.
- Using a hand mixer, beat together egg, vanilla extract, and cream cheese in a large bowl.
- Cut the roll of sugar cookie dough in half and press one half into the bottom of the baking dish in an even layer.
- Pour cream cheesecake mixture over the sugar cookie crust.
- Make flattened “chunks” of cookie dough with the remaining 1/2 of the dough. Place them evenly over the top of the cheesecake mixture. (They will sink, melt, and then rise to form the top crust).
- Bake for 30 minutes or just until the sugar cookie shows a golden color.
- Let cool for at least an hour. Add sprinkles once completely cooled.
