A delightful twist on classic cookie bars with a creamy filling and a marbled top.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.
Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan to form an even layer.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie dough base.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Flatten small pieces of the remaining cookie dough and place them on top of the filling, leaving some gaps for a marbled effect.
Flour your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Cooling helps the bars set for cleaner cuts.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
Refrigeration keeps the bars fresh and prevents spoilage.
