Cheesecake Cookies Makes 8 or 9" square pan of bar cookies or double the recipe and bake in a 9x12" pan, adding an extra 10 minutes to the baking time in step #8.
Crust & Crumb Topping:
1/3 cup butter (or margarine) @ room temperature
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts (Nadine used pecans)
Filling:
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese @ room temperature
1 egg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Crust & Crumb Topping: Line a 8 or 9" square pan with parchment paper or foil, allowing ends of paper or foil to overlap edges for easy removal of bar cookies. Spray paper or foil with pan release.
- Cream butter and brown sugar. Add flour and nuts and mix until crumbly.
- Reserve 1 cup of crumb mixture for topping.
- Spread rest of crumb mixture into prepared pan.
- Bake 10 minutes in a preheated 325° oven -- crust should be lightly browned.
- Filling: Add all filling ingredients to mixing bowl and beat until smooth (a few small lumps of cream cheese may still be visible.
- Pour of slightly cooled crust. Top with reserved crumbs.
- Return to oven and bake 25 minutes longer, until filling is set.
- When cool, remover parchment paper/foil liner from pan and cut into desired shape. Nadine cut the bars into small squares for cookie trays; I cut mine into 9 pieces for dessert sized portion.
- Refrigerate bars until ready to eat.
