Cheesecake bars

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Today's treat are yummy Oreo cheesecake bars! These bars are super yummy, but be warned these are really sweet so one little piece could be enough! In the book it said "Press cookie dough into a 8 x 11 glass pan" (Pg. 32). But I didn't want to put it in that small of a pan because I didn't want the cheesecake bars to be too thick. 

Ingredients: 

- 1 log refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough 

- 20 Oreo's, plus more for crushed topping 

- 2 8-oz bar cream cheese, softened 

- 1/2 cup sugar

- 2 large eggs

- pinch of salt 

- warm caramel for drizzling 

The first step is to line the baking dish with either parchment paper or aluminum foil and then press the log of cookie dough into the pan covering the bottom of the pan. I decided to use aluminum foil just because I ran out of parchment paper. 

 The next step is to put Oreo cookies on top of the cookie dough layer and just cover all the cookie dough, you may have to break some in half to fit them correctly. 

The next step is to make the cream cheese batter, now I kind of failed during this step but not completely, my mixture came out really bumpy this happened because I didn't whip the cream cheese before adding the other ingredients. But the bumpiness did not affect the outcome of the bars at all they still were good! After you make the cheesecake batter pour it on top of the Oreo's and cookie dough. 

The next step is to crush up some Oreo's and then shake them over the cheesecake batter and then put the cheesecake bars into the oven at 325 degrees for 40 minuets.

 The last couple of steps are super easy! After the bars come out of the oven place them into the fridge to cool for a few hours. Once they are completely cooled then take the bars out of the pan by using the aluminum foil and lifting them out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Then you have to take the foil of the bars and then heat up the caramel sauce for a few seconds in the microwave and then drizzle the caramel over the bars. 

Thank you for reading my blog! Hope you're having a great night, morning or afternoon and tune in next time.
