Day 72: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars



Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
Status: Homemade
Satisfaction: 10+!

Should I even try and explain what's happening in this sinful amalgamation?
1. Light Cinnamon-y Crust
2. Creamy Cheesecake Filling
3. Chocolate Chip Cookies
= This is so good, it should probably be illegal. In fact, it probably is.

I started with a cinnamon graham cracker crust (classic cheesecake base!) and worked my way into the fluffy cheesecake layer while the crust was baking. Then--since we've got to get in the best of all worlds here--I topped it with a chocolate chip cookie dough strudel-esque topping (egg-free! Just in case you're tempted to eat it before it goes in the baking pan...not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything). So essentially, you're biting into a grahamcrackercrustcheesecakefilledchocolatechipcookiebar. 

Try saying that ten times fast. Or better yet, close your mouth (which, I'm sure, is expending copious amounts of saliva) and try this recipe (below the cut)!
