This Cheesecake Cookie Bars bring back so many memories. My mom’s favourite treats that she made a gazillion times when I was young. She added in different varieties of nuts that she’d like and it turned out perfect always. A not overly sweet treat that you can put together in only fifteen minutes with just pantry essentials. If you prefer thick bars, I suggest using an 8 x 8-inch pan instead.
This is excellent for serving a big crowd. No need to double the recipe just make it as is. If you desire, you can also adjust the sweetness by adding in more sugar. But for me, this is perfect as is. My Mom’s Cheesecake Cookie Bars will always be my number one favourite treat!

How to make Mom’s Cheesecake Cookie Bars
