These chocolate chip cheesecake bars combine chewy cookie dough and a rich, creamy cheesecake layer in one easy dessert. Made with cookie mix and simple ingredients, they’re perfect for parties, cookie exchanges, or a quick homemade treat.

I like to use a package of Betty Crocker cookie mix for this recipe because I usually have it in my pantry. You can also use a premade roll of cookie dough, or make your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie dough.
