Ingredients:
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
One 16.5 oz tube of sugar cookie dough, at room temperature
Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions:
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray and set it aside.
Mixing the Ingredients:
Using a hand mixer, beat together the egg, vanilla extract, and cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
Assembling the Bars:
Cut the tube of sugar cookie dough in half and press one half into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer.
Cover the sugar cookie shell with the cream cheese mixture.
Adding the Top Crust:
Create flattened “chunks” of cookie dough with the remaining half of the dough. Evenly distribute them on the cheesecake mixture.
. Note that they will sink, melt, and then rise to form the top crust.
Baking:
Bake for 30 minutes or until the sugar cookie crust shows a golden color.
Cooling and Serving:
Let the bars cool for a minimum of sixty minutes.. Once completely cooled, add rainbow sprinkles on top.
