Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars recipe
Life is full of decisions … decisions like, should I get up and exercise or sleep an extra hour? Chicken tacos or beef tacos? You know, important stuff!
When it comes to dessert, I don’t want to choose. I’m sure you don’t want to either! With these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars, you don’t have to choose – you get the best of both worlds! Chocolate chip cookies AND cheesecake … you’re welcome! ?
This recipe has been in my recipe box for more than 20 years, and it’s always a favorite with family, friends, and when I take it to potlucks! I love that it only has FOUR INGREDIENTS, and it comes together pretty quickly. You can use pre-made refrigerated cookie dough – or use your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe. You’ll need about 2 cups to make this recipe!
What are you waiting for … make the recipe!! You’ll be soooo glad you did!
