I don’t think that I have ever purchased a roll of cookie dough. Ever. Guess I am an old fashioned girl. If I want cookies, I want homemade ones. But when I found a random recipe using a roll of cookie dough, which just so happened to be on sale AND I had a coupon for….I knew I needed to try it.
These come together so easily, it almost feels like you aren’t really baking! And it only makes a 9×9, which means it doesn’t linger in your fridge days after you have got your fill of it.
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bars
(click title for easy printable)
Ingredients
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
- ½ cups Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 package (16.5 Oz) Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Roll
Set cookie dough out to soften about 15 minutes ahead of time. Preheat oven to 350*.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth.
In an un-greased 9 inch square pan, press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of your pan. {flour your fingers if necessary}
Spread cream cheese mixture onto dough layer. Top with blobs of remaining cookie dough.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
It’ll be hard to wait, but do it, they are so much better set up!
Enjoy!

My oh my oh my! Two of my most favorite things in one bite. OH YUM! A friend just gave me this recipe and I hadn’t tried it yet…added to my pile of ‘to try’! Yours look mouth-watering!
Oh, this sounds like a perfect, quick dessert! Love chocolate chips and cream cheese!
That sounds delicious! If you did want to “feel like you were baking” (which I rarely do!) you could definitely substitute your favourite cookie recipe for the pre-made version. Oh the ideas!
Now this is a perfect last minute dessert:)
