The most delicious layered cookie bars you'll eat this year! Graham cracker crust topped with a creamy pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie dough. Baked to perfection, these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars NEED to be on your dessert table.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 18 full size crackers)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
- 2 package (8 ounce each) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned, NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the cookie dough:
- 1 package (30 ounce) refrigerated Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Instructions
- For the crust, pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter, pulse until blended.
- Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Press crumbs into bottom of pan until evenly pressed.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cheesecake layer ingredients for 3-5 minutes until blended and smooth. Pour over crust layer.
- Either make your own cookie dough using this recipe for the cookie layer. Or (CHEAT ALERT!!!) use the refrigerated cookie dough and crumble the dough over the cheesecake layer.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30-35 minutes, center may still seem wiggly, it's okay.
- Cool pan completely, then refrigerate for 3-4 hours (or overnight). Once completely chilled, cut into bars and enjoy.
- Store cookie bars in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Or, freeze in an airtight container until later.
Notes
- Use homemade chocolate chip cookie dough if you prefer to make the cookie dough from scratch!
- Swap out the spices for our homemade pumpkin pie spice mix.
