Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars. I know it. The name is way too long. But I can’t think straight or see straight or do anything normal right now, except I can see the fridge, and I’m thinking there are maybe three bars left in there right now?

Given my current state, it is for surely necessary to list every yummy layer of this creamy crumbly peanut buttery cookie bar in its name. A heaping scoop of peanut butter, a whole lotta chocolate chip cookie, and the cheesecake? GAH.

Here, have another one.

These bars did a little number on me.

A little number I like to call didn’t-eat-any-real-food-all-day. Like how-is-half-the-pan-gone-already, and I’ll-just-even-out-this-row, and maybe-my-neighbor-doesn’t-need-all-four-of-those.

You know those dessert bars that you make with full intentions to bring to chess club or soap making class, but then you find yourself washing out the empty pan and realizing that you never really shared them? At. All? That’s these and that person is me.

I’m sure you can do better, though, and I’m sure your “friends” will love these. WINK WINK.

Let’s Make Some Gooey Cheesecake Bars

First up: press your dough into the bottom of a pan (I’m using a 9×13-ish pan here, but a square pan also works for even thicker bars).

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture in with the butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Cream the cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Press half to two-thirds of the cookie dough in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. Pour the cheesecake filling over the dough. Crumble the remaining dough and sprinkle over the top, OR roll it into a flat layer and place it over the cheesecake layer.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes; remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until tops is lightly browned and cheesecake layer is set. Serve warm or cold and store leftover bars in refrigerator.
