Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Layer
- 17.5 oz chocolate chip cookie mix
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 24 Oreo cookies
Cheesecake Layer
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1⅓ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1⅓ cups chopped Oreos, divided
Optional
- Caramel sauce for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray it well with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the bars.
- Make the Cookie Base: In a mixing bowl, beat together the chocolate chip cookie mix, softened butter, and one large egg until well combined. Press this cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a uniform base layer.
- Add Oreo Layer: Arrange the 24 whole Oreo cookies evenly over the cookie dough layer. Press them lightly into the dough so they adhere but maintain their shape and texture.
- Mix Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Next, mix in the sour cream, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in ⅔ cup of the chopped Oreos gently to distribute them throughout the cheesecake mixture.
- Assemble and Bake: Spread the prepared cheesecake filling evenly over the Oreo layer in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos on top to add extra crunch and visual appeal. Bake the assembled bars for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is just set and no longer jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours to firm up and make slicing easier. Optionally, drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for added sweetness.
Notes
- Chill time is essential for clean slices, so do not skip refrigeration.
- Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Feel free to switch Oreo flavors for a different twist on this dessert.
