Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 20 Oreos)
- 5 tablespoons (74 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie and Topping Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (67 grams) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Create a fine Oreo crumb base by pulverizing cookies and blending with melted butter, then press evenly into the pan. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until slightly set, then allow to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until silky smooth, gradually incorporating sugar and vanilla. Introduce eggs one at a time, ensuring thorough integration after each addition. Fold in sour cream until the mixture becomes uniform and creamy. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
- Prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough by creaming butter with both brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Incorporate vanilla extract and egg, mixing until well combined. Gradually blend in flour, baking soda, and salt to create a consistent dough. Gently fold in chocolate chips, then distribute dollops of cookie dough across the cheesecake layer, lightly pressing them into the surface.
- Place the assembled pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Look for golden-brown cookie dough topping and a set cheesecake center. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to achieve perfect slicing consistency before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to create a solid, compact crust that holds together perfectly when cutting bars.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake layer that blends seamlessly.
- Avoid overmixing the cheesecake batter to prevent air bubbles and cracking during baking.
- Chill bars completely before slicing for clean, precise cuts and the best texture and flavor combination.
