Happy Happy Wednesday y’all and welcome to another cheat day post!!! Holy heck you guys, Christmas is sooo almost here and I can honestly say I’ve never been this far behind in my shopping & wrapping…maybe ever. I literally woke up this past Saturday and had the very stressful realization that I had done basically no Christmas shopping and only had a little over a week to get it done.
Seriously, thank goodness for Amazon you guys, because fast forward 2 hours and I was pretty much dunzo with all of my shopping. Will all of it arrive in time? yeah, not so sure, but it’s all good, if it doesn’t then my loved ones will continue to get gifts into the New Year.
Obviously, y’all are not here to listen to my stress induced (of my own making) tirade, so let’s get to the good stuff…the food! I had a thought a few weeks ago, that Santa might be sick of the same old milk & cookies and maybe he might enjoy an absolutely delightful dessert that brings the traditional ingredients into one.
So technically, the ‘milk’ in these bars is a delicious cream cheese, but cream cheese has milk in it, sooo close enough. Also, I took the easy way out and used store bought cookie dough which I recommend because these bars were thrown together in about 15 minutes and sooo delicious y’all. I think that these bars would be the perfect addition to your Christmas day, or for Santa on his travels, either way, these are a must make. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
First, place your cookie dough in your pan…
then, smoosh it into the bottom of your pan…
cream cheese mixture on top of your cookie dough…
then the rest of your cookie dough on top, and possibly the blurriest picture I could have taken…
bake, bake, bake and enjoy!!!
RECIPE:
1 (8 Ounce) Package of Cream Cheese, Softened.
½ Cup of Granulated Sugar.
1 Large Egg.
1 (16.5 Ounce) Chocolate Chip Cookie Roll, Divided.
Pre-heat your oven to 350°F. With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth.
In a 9 or 8 inch square pan, break up half of cookie dough, pressing into the bottom until an even layer is formed. Spread your cream cheese mixture over your cookie dough. Then crumble the remaining half of dough over the cream cheese mixture.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled. Cut into bars and enjoy!!!
