I first saw these decadent cookie dough cheesecake cookie bars over at Delish and knew I had to make them. I am glad I did as they were devoured in record time! These would certainly like ot make an appearance at your next party. Trust me , the guests will be asking for your recipe. I used an edible cookie dough to top them. Heating the flour is the key to making the cookie dough safe. That’s a tip I learned from Cookies and Cups! Be sure to check out her blog, too!
