Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 a cup of oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of water
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 box of extra moist yellow cake mix
• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• 1 and 1/2 packages of cream cheese
• 8 oz. of cool whip
• 1/3 of a cup of sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13-inch metal pan. In a large mixing bowl mix together oil, eggs, vanilla, and water. Add cake mix and mix together by hand until well blended.

Fold in chocolate chips. Spread an even layer onto the bottom of your pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until the bottom layer is golden brown. In a large mixing bowl mix together cream cheese, cool whip, and sugar until your cream cheese layer is smooth.

Mix with an electric mixer on high until smooth. You may need to make two batches if you have a deep pan. Spread your cheesecake batter evenly over the cookie layer and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours – wrapped in plastic wrap.

Variations and Tips

• If you’d like to make a buttery graham cracker crust instead of using a cake mix as your base, you can use graham cracker crumbs instead of the cake mix box.
• Consider adding a tablespoon of Nutella to your cream cheese mixture to give this recipe a richer flavor profile. It is the best way to quickly give it a creamier feel, but with little effort. This version is one of my favorite recipes!
• I rarely photograph with parchment paper, but it’s always easier to work with desserts if you start with a base of this tool.
• You could substitute out the oil for room temperature butter. Just make sure you beat butter until smooth.
• When storing your cookie dough cheesecake bars, use an airtight container and refrigerate.

I love easy recipes and whenever you start with a boxed cake mix, I know it’s not going to be a tough day in the kitchen. These are absolutely the best cheesecake bars, especially if you love chocolate chips. It’s a good thing I do. 🙂 I tend to add a bit more to my cheesecake layer then I suggest, but that’s just me.
