Ingredients

Scale

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup (60g) packed light brown sugar

  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined.

  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.

  • Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely before adding the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Layer

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  • Stir in vanilla extract and fold in the chocolate chips.

  • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust.

3. Prepare the Cookie Topping

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt.

  • Stir in melted butter until crumbly.

  • Fold in the chocolate chips.

  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cheesecake layer.

4. Bake

  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the center is just set.

  • Allow bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

5. Chill and Serve

  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for clean slicing and optimal texture.

  • Cut into bars and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure each layer cools as directed before moving to the next step.

  • The topping may puff up slightly but will settle as it cools.

  • Use quality chocolate chips for best flavor.
