Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Brownies image

Bring a regular chocolate chip cookie bar to a whole new level of yumminess by adding a layer of cheesecake to the center. The perfect treat for any time of the year. The cookie layer is a tender cookie bar (almost like a brookie) and full of rich flavor. Creamy and rich, the cream cheese layer is the perfect mate to the cookie...

Number Of Ingredients 16

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH:
1 1/4 c brown sugar, light
3/4 c Crisco
2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 c chocolate chips
1 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), optional
CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
2 pkg cream cheese (8 oz. each)
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for chocolate chip cookies in the order listed above. Divide into two parts and set aside.
  • 2. In a second bowl, mix all cream cheese filling ingredients until smooth.
  • 3. Spread one part of cookie dough on the bottom of greased 13 X 9 pan. (Mine measures 13 3/4 by 9 1/2). It will help if your hands are wet, otherwise, the dough will stick to your fingers.
  • 4. Pour the cream cheese filling over the cookie dough.
  • 5. Top the filling with the remaining dough by creating dabs of dough (or little pancakes of dough). Once again it will help if your fingers are wet.
  • 6. Bake at 350 F for about 50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • 7. Cool and divide into bite-size pieces (about 40 or so). Enjoy it as much as we do!
