If you love the “just one more bite” combo of cookie dough vibes + creamy cheesecake, you’re in the right place. These Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars are rich, smooth, and packed with that classic chocolate chip flavor—thanks to a generous crumble of Meli’s folded into both the crust and the filling.

Best part? No oven needed. You’ll chill these until firm, slice into bars, and watch them disappear faster than the holiday cookie tin. 😉

How To Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars 👩🍳

1) Prep The Pan

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides (this makes lifting and slicing so much easier).

2) Make The Crust

1. Mix Crushed Graham Crackers + Crushed Meli’s Chocolate Chip Cookies in a bowl.

2. Stir in Melted Butter until it looks like damp sand.

3. Press firmly into the pan (a measuring cup works great for this).

4. Freeze 15–20 minutes while you make the filling.

3) Make The Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat Cream Cheese until smooth and fluffy.

2. Mix in Sweetened Condensed Milk, Sour Cream, and Vanilla until silky.

3. Fold in Chopped Meli’s Cookies and Chocolate Chips.

4) Chill + Set

1. Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top.

2. Optional: sprinkle more chips/crumbs on top for extra “ooh.”

3. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) until firm.

5) Slice + Serve

Lift out using parchment, slice into bars, and enjoy!

Meli’s Tips For The Best Bars 🍪✨

• Crush it well: A food processor makes the crust super even and presses like a dream.

• Room-temp cream cheese: This is how you get that smooth, creamy filling (no lumps allowed).

• Make-ahead friendly: These keep great chilled, so they’re perfect for party prep.
