Description
These Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars combine a buttery Golden Oreo crust, a rich cheesecake filling, and a cinnamon-sugar cookie topping for a cozy, crowd-pleasing dessert. They are easy to make and perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime you want a sweet treat.
Ingredients
26 Golden Oreo Cookies
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
16.5 oz premade sugar cookie dough
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining sugar with the ground cinnamon.
- Portion the sugar cookie dough into small pieces, flatten slightly, and coat both sides with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Arrange the coated cookie dough pieces over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar over the top.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Cool the bars for 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or shortbread cookies can be used instead of Golden Oreos for the crust.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar for extra warmth and flavor.
For a sweeter finish, drizzle the chilled bars with vanilla glaze before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Let the bars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
