Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Slutty Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Form the Cookie Base:
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form a solid base layer.
- Add the Oreo Layer:
- Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer over the cookie dough, pressing them gently into the dough.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix to avoid incorporating too much air.
- Add the Cheesecake Layer:
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the Oreo layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the cheesecake layer.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, you can optionally sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the top and drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch of decadence.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
