The creamy filling is a very basic cheesecake style filling. The end result is a bar cookie that everyone will love.
Recipe Tips
Gluten Free Packaged Cookie Dough – I used Immaculate Baking Company cookie dough for my recipe. It comes in a 14 oz. package. Sweet Loren’s is another option which comes in a 12 oz. package. Both will work.
Making the Cookie Crust and Topping – Use 6-7 cookies to make the crust. Crumble the remaining cookies for the top. A smaller cookie package means a little less topping.
Flour Your Finger Tips – Use a little rice flour or other gluten free flour to press the cookies into the pan forming the crust. It makes the work easier.
Chill the Bars After Cooking – Chillingthe bars for a couple hours is CRUCIAL. The cheesecake center tastes better once it’s thoroughly chilled. I find they actually taste better the next day.
I hope you give these easy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars a try the next time you’re looking to satisfy that sweet tooth. Enjoy!
