Did you know that today is National Cheesecake Day? Did you also know that today is my birthday? Yay! There’s no better way to celebrate both my birthday and National Cheesecake Day than with Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars. The bars have a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom and topped with a cheesecake layer all baked until golden brown. The combination of the two is so delicious! It would probably be even better if you swirled the two layers together…kinda like my Mint “Cheesecake” Brownies.
Thanks for stopping by to help celebrate my birthday and National Cheesecake Day! I hope you enjoy the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars!
