Ingredients

  • 30 ounce package chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Slice package of 30 ounce package chocolate chip cookie dough in half. Cut half of the roll into 8 slices and press out with hands to fill the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking pan.
  • Beat softened 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth.
  • Mix cream cheese, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Spread on top of cookie dough.
  • Slice remaining cookie dough and flatten with fingers. Lay pieces over the top of the cream cheese filling to create top layer of cookie bars.
  • Bake in a 350°F oven until cookie dough is done about 30 - 35 minutes.

Notes

  • Cookie dough is easier to press and shape when chilled compared to using room temperature dough
