Chocolate chip cookies meet traditional cheesecake in these Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars baked in a loaf pan, packed with plenty of cookie dough on top.

Updated 2/9/2015: Once a month, my friend hosts a themed dinner at her house where we all bring at least one dish to share with everyone. With the theme being comfort food, I knew I had to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars again. After all, what is more comforting than chocolate chip cookies, cookie dough, and cheesecake all rolled into one treat? Before bringing them to the dinner, I took advantage and shot new and improved photos as the old photos didn’t justify just how good these are. I also updated the recipe to reflect some changes I’ve made from my original attempt.

Original post 8/17/2010: Now that I live alone, I don’t bake as often. Sure, I could take stuff into work (and I have), but it seems like everyone is on Weight Watchers. Plus I don’t always have the energy. How do all you parents do it? I barely have energy to cook and clean for myself, let alone a family. I guess you get used to it? I hope so, or I’ll never be able to take care of one. My family does come up to visit, so when they do, I want to have a special treat for them. That way I can bake and get rid of the extra calories.

Several months ago, I found a used copy of The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook. I’ve had this on my Amazon Wish List ever since I saw these cheesecake bars on Bake or Break. It’s more than just chocolate chip cookies. It has cookies, muffins, pies, tarts, puddings, cakes, ice cream desserts, pretty much anything with chocolate chips, including the Strawberry and White Chocolate Cheesecake I made back in June. Anyway, after drooling at the pictures, I decided to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars. What a mouthful! And a good one too. The cookie dough layer on top ending up being almost a whole layer rather than chunks here and there, so the cheesecake layer isn’t as dominant. I opted to leave off the chocolate drizzle. I enjoy them cold, preferably from the freezer. Of course my family forgot to take the extras home, so that’s why they ended up in my freezer in the first place.
