Ingredients
  

  • 1 roll chocolate chip cookie dough, refrigerated
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Spread ½ of the cookie dough onto the bottom of the baking dish and press down firmly.
  • Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy with a stand mixer or hand mixer.
  • Beat in the sugar until combined.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the filling on the top of the cookie dough base and spread it evenly.
  • Crumble the rest of the cookie dough over the top.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, or it may leave lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
  • Try to keep an eye on it when it gets to the 30-minute mark and finish baking it to your liking. When the top cookie layer is starting to look lightly golden brown, you will know they are done.
