Finally, I get a chance to share the greatest cookie bars with you. This is Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Bars and they are the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. I only wish that I could share the actual cookie bars with you, so you could try for yourself. It’s an Oreo Cookie cookie base topped with a layer of cheesecake and then topped with crumbled Oreo cookies. It will rock your world!
Last week, I asked my Facebook fans to choose the recipe they wanted to see. I had a pretty busy week coming up with pre-scheduled recipes and I has one open spot. I thought it might be fun to let my fans choose what they wanted to see first. I gave them a choice between the pasta salad and these cookie bars. Majority of my readers chose pasta salad. I can definitely understand it since it’s summer and many barbeques are happening, plus it was the July 4th week.
Now, I finally have another chance to share these awesome cookie bars with you. It was definitely worth the wait. I can’t wait to get your comments after your made them. Looking at the pictures is making me want to make them again.
The best part about these cookie bars is the cookie base. The base is made out of the “cannibal” cookies that I shared last year. It’s a soft cookie base made with chunks of Oreos. The cheesecake layer makes the perfect balance between the cookies, balancing the sweetness and texture.
