    I first posted this recipe back in 2016 and since then it has become one of my Top 10 Recipes on Lights, Camera, BAKE! That means you know the recipe is GOOD.

    In fact, you, my dear readers, love these cookie dough cheesecake bars so much that I just had to update the post, photos and create a short video tutorial for you.

    It had nothing to do with the fact that I was craving these cheesecake bars... Nothing to do with that at all....

    If you saw my post on Monday you will know that that was for another cheesecake. My Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. I wouldn't normally post two cheesecakes in one week but the NEW recipe for the triple chocolate cheesecake was just bursting to be shared and I also had a crazy craving for cookie dough. Or maybe I'm just obsessed with cheesecake. Who knows?!

    Since 2016, I have made cookie dough cheesecakes many times. I love finding the soft pieces of cookie dough among the creamy texture of the cheesecake.

    These are cheesecake bars in the sense that I baked these in a square cake tin rather than a circle spring form pan. I did this with the original post and it has stuck. You all seem to love the fact that these are cookie dough cheesecake bars so I'm not about to change a good thing!

    This really is a simple cheesecake that works every time. The only trouble you may run into is cracking on the top. To help avoid this, make sure you let it cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar before allowing it to come to room temperature on the bench and finally placing it into the fridge. If you do get cracking its not the end of the world and doesn't affect the flavour in any way.
