Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

So I’ve kind of blogged in abundance about my love/hate relationship with shopping. I love it, really I do, until I don’t find anything. Then I’m mad. And lately, it seemed like there was nothing cute to be bought in shops. It was all a mix of ugly leftover Winter sweaters, and a bit of spring stuff. Alas, nothing cute at all.

But now, now, my friends, there is an abundance of cute stuff in shops, stuff I want very badly. Lots of polka dots and cute dresses and faded denim! Since none of my clothes fit me anymore, and I desperately need new clothes, I thought that this would be the opportune time to go on a clothes shopping spree.

But alas, my credit card disagrees with me, my friends. For I just bought a new phone that cost me about $57358567. Yes, that is exactly how much it cost! Interestingly enough, prior to buying the phone that cost me $2846756, I was searching malls for new clothes. I searched high and low, but there was nary a cute dress or top to be found. Strangely enough, exactly one week after buying said phone, the shops were flooded with cute tops and skirts and scarves and shoes. It was so sudden, this abundance of Cute Spring Stuff, that one would think it was planned…

If only there was a time when both my bank balance and the shops were full. *sigh* Life is so unfair, right? #firstworldproblems

Instead of wallowing about this, may I suggest you join me in a plateful of these INSANELY GOOD Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars? These babies will never let you down, since they are faithful to both the chocolate chip cookie AND cheesecake sides of the family. Why have one when you can have both?!

When I first saw this recipe online, I think my mouth dropped open. I could have both cheesecake AND chocolate chip cookie dough all in one bar?! I didn’t have to choose between eating a soft, chewy cookie or a creamy slice of cheesecake. I’m all for not having to choose between two amazing things. 😀

And let me tell you, combining these two scrumptious desserts makes something even better, believe it or not! On top, you have a soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie dough topping, and underneath you have a creamy, luscious cheesecake, resting on a buttery graham cracker crust.

Best served cold, these bars jam are packed with semi-sweet chocolate chip; the cookie dough is kind of crunchy, yet chewy at the same time, and swirls together with the creamy, cold cheesecake to create a party in your mouth! I love the variety of textures in these bars; they were so good that there were only 2 left the next morning!

So do yourself a favour, and save yourself from the chore of having to pick between two amazing things. Make both! 🙂
