I’m typing this up from the 101 freeway to a medley of Taylor Swift music (don’t judge) as Kyle and I head back up to Santa Barbara after spending the long weekend in our hometown. I apologize for the lack of posts these last few days, but I was soaking up the family, Tucker (Kyle’s black lab puppy), and photo shoots.
So now I’m making it up to you guys with these double-decker chocolate chip cheesecake bars. LIKE WHAT. Do you accept my apology? Good, I’ll take that salivating as a yes.
This is one of the many, MANY recipes I have bookmarked through Pinterest to try (check out the original from Divas Can Cook here!). Pinterest is both a blessing and a curse in that you get inspiration for aaaalllll the ideas, yet only a fraction of them actually come to fruition. It’s come to the point where sometimes I get so overwhelmed by all the options I have that I end up just giving up and eating Ben and Jerry’s in bed. Which is a bad habit I need to break because I have absolutely no sense of portion control and you better believe I’m eating the whole pint if given the opportunity.
So anywho, I’m babbling nonsense, but what I mean to stress is that THIS recipe popped out on my screen as I scrolled through Pinterest and I knew I just had to make it. All you need to do is take one look at that double layer of chocolate chip cookie and perfect cheesecake layer and you are sold.
So let’s chat a bit more about these gorgeous bars.
You have a creamy, perfectly sweet cheesecake layer that’s sandwiched beautifully between two soft + chocolate chip-filled cookie layers. These cookies are baked till juuuusttt out of their cookie dough phase (the al dente of the cookie world if ya know what I mean) and the combination is just UNREAL. As my housemate Kira said, “This is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth EVER.”
You actually gave me diabetes of the eyes. You NEED to fedex this 😉
Yep, gonna need to pin this right now and make them this weekend! YUM!
These are totally up my husband’s alley! He loves chocolate chip cookies and he loves cheesecake even more. I think I could make him fall in love with me all over again with these!
Oooooomg I can’t EVEN. Girl, these look amazing! And the pictures are just KILLING me. Like… how am I supposed to enjoy my coffee now knowing it would be so much better if it was accompanied by one of these. Ugh. NEED.
I have a serious pet peeve of cookies that are so thin you don’t get any of that gushy goodness. I generally solve this problem by making cookies that are super small and fat, but turning them into bars is literally genius! Plus, cheesecake –> there are no words. <3
This!!! Oh yum. I am craving this right now – my two favourite “cakes” in one. Looks amazing!
Hope you had a nice trip
Christine- you are making me drool with this recipe! I have made something similar to this before, and it was one of my favorite baked goods I have ever tried! I am pumped you posted this and I am going to give it a shot!
These look epic – your photo really capture how yummy they must taste
I love Pinterest for that reason too! It’s so much fun to browse but I need more time in the day to try all the yummy recipes out there!
These bars look absolutely DIVINE. I literally wanted to pin every single photo! Who knew cheesecake bars could look gorgeous.
They are SO SO SO good. The only problem is that they’re gone so fast 😉
WOW. I am filing these away to make later. I can’t even handle the deliciousness!
The photos of these cheesecake bars are seriously SO SO mouthwatering. Clearly I have have to make this recipe, it looks and sounds like everything I would love to devour.
