Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bars

Set cookie dough out to soften about 15 minutes ahead of time. Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth.

Use an un-greased 9-inch square pan. Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of your pan (flour your fingers if necessary to make it easier to handle).

Spread cream cheese mixture onto the top of the dough layer. Top with blobs of the remaining cookie dough.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the counter for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate 2 hours before serving. It’ll be hard to wait, but do it, they are so much better after they have set up!
