Cookie Dough
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Cookie Butter or Biscoff Spread
- 2 large eggs, at room temp.
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 heaping cup milk chocolate chips
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, at room temp.
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg, at room temp.
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C and line a 9X9 inch pan with foil and grease the pan thoroughly, set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer beat butter for 2 minutes, add in sugar and brown sugar and beat for 4 minutes. Add in cookie butter/biscoff spread and beat until fully combined. Add in eggs one at a time then vanilla extract.
- Mix in baking soda, salt and flour until no flour steaks remain. Fold in chocolate chips. Press half of the dough into prepared pan.
Cheesecake Layer
- In a clean bowl of an electric mixer beat cream cheese for 3 minutes on high speed. Add in sugar beating for 2 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla extract and beat on high for 5 more minutes. Pour on top of cookie dough layer. Press remaining cookie dough on top of cheesecake layer. I like to flatten the dough into discs or squares to cover the cheesecake layer evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, the cookie dough should be golden brown. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
