 Treat Tuesday - Cheesecake Bars


*We entertained some friends on Friday night.

*Everyone brought an appetizer and/or dessert.

*This was brought and over-the-top delicious!

*Lucky for us, the guests that brought it, left the extras for us.

 

 

Ingredients...

  • 1 log refrigerated cookie dough (such as Pillsbury)
  • 20 Oreos, plus more crushed for topping

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

    2. Top with a layer of Oreos (break them up to form a single layer). Set aside.
    3. Make cheesecake layer: In a medium bowl using a handheld mixer or stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
