If you’ve got a little cookie monster in your life (or are one yourself!), you’ve gotta make these cheesecake bars. They’ve got THREE types of cookies in them—homemade chocolate chip, Chips Ahoy, and Oreos—plus a creamy blue cheesecake layer to really drive the monster theme home. Make these the next time you can’t decide which dessert to bring to a potluck or birthday celebration—everyone will love ‘em.
Not a fan of food coloring? It’s just for fun, so feel free to skip it or change it up for a holiday celebration. Prefer a different flavor of Oreos, or can't find the mini ones? My favorite flavor is mint, but I’m also a big fan of those chocolate-covered ones that come out around Christmas-time. I’m also never mad at a peanut butter one… y’know what, pretty much all Oreos are good Oreos and you can use whatever flavors you like (or are intrigued by!). If you do go with bigger ones, simply crush them up into smaller pieces before placing them on the cheesecake layer. Ditto goes for the Chips Ahoy—the minis are adorable, but crushed larger ones will work too.
Made these? Let me know how it went in the comments below.
