Try not to dig in before it is baked…it is THAT good! Using Pillsbury cookie dough makes these come together in no time but feel free to use homemade cookie dough, too!

    Hi, this looks delicious and seems simple to make. I was making it for my son and his friend. I have now had it in the oven for almost 2 hours. I have followed the directions so I’m not sure what the issue is. I now have it in the oven for another 15 minutes, if I doesn’t get done this time I’m throwing it away 🙁

    I make these with my gluten free chocolate chip mix and they are wonderful because it adds a creamy texture to the normally dry gf mix.

    This looks really yummy and I really want to try to make it. I just have a couple questions first. I don’t have a 9×9 pan, will an 8×8 work? Also, it says to bake until the cheesecake layer is set. Because there is the layer of cookie dough on top of it, what would be the easiest way to check the cheesecake layer?

    Reply
    • danielle says

      8×8 is fine-just be sure top is golden and not to wobbly.

        A 9″X9″ pan is 81 square inches, and a quarter sheet pan, 9″X13″ is 127 square inches. If you make 1 1/2 times the amounts called for in the recipe, it should work perfectly in a quarter sheet pan.

    I would like to make my own cookie dough instead of using the philsbury. Do I just follow a normal cookie down recipe and just spread it in the pan? Do I make 2 batches of the cookie dough then? One for the top and one for the bottom?

    Danielle, looking forward to tasting this treat. Having a party this weekend and I have it all put together stilling in the fridge waiting to bake off. I made my own cookie dough and used parchment paper in the bottom of my pan (over hanging the sides) and a piece of wax paper on top of the dough as I flatten down the bottom layer. Thanks to my husband looking over my shoulder as I was do it, he asked if he could make a suggestion (at this point I normally roll my eyes and let him talk) but it made scene. He said lift the bottom out and use it as your top layer now that it is the right size. So I lifted it out, carefully laid it on a cutting board and put it in the fridge to harden up. They I repeated the process again, put my cream cheese filling in and then grabbed my top layer out of fridge. Carefully peeling back the parchment paper I laid it right on top and them removed my wax paper. Wrapped it bake up and put it back in the fridge. I will comment back on how it turn out when I bake it off.

    I have been making these for over 25 years. Got the recipe from my mother-in-law. She always made them for her grandchildren. Bake in a 9×13 pyrex. For the top layer of cookie I cut the roll into 1″ circles and flatten each on parchment paper, then lift off with a knife and place on top of the filling. It does not need to cover completely. My mother-in-law would freeze the cookie roll, then cut circles and place over filling. A family favorite and a wonderful culinary memory.

    I would suggest lining the cake pan with saran, pressing half the cookie dough in, removing, and refrigerating. When assembling the goodie, the top layer will be easy to put on top of the cheesecake layer, and be exactly the correct size. Easy Peasy.
