Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars
These Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars are so incredible and delicious! You can make this perfect dessert mash-up so easily and there’s no need to choose between your favorite treats!
THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF COOKIE AND CHEESECAKE
Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars are the perfect way to satisfy multiple dessert cravings at once! This recipe is wonderfully versatile, combining the warm cinnamon flavor of snickerdoodles, the creamy richness of cheesecake, and the chewy texture of blondies all in one amazing treat. You don’t need to decide between your favorite desserts anymore – just make these bars!
Let me just say – these bars are a TRIPLE THREAT. Seriously! They combine everything wonderful about snickerdoodle cookies with a luscious cheesecake layer and the satisfying chew of a blondie. It’s like the dessert version of hitting the jackpot.
I’ve always had a soft spot for snickerdoodles (that cinnamon-sugar coating gets me every time), but when you layer them with creamy cheesecake? Pure magic happens. While I appreciate a good chocolate dessert, there’s something about the warm, cozy flavor of cinnamon and the tanginess of cream cheese that creates an irresistible combination.
What makes these bars extra special is how each layer complements the others. The cookie dough base gives you that familiar snickerdoodle flavor foundation, the cheesecake middle adds incredible creaminess, and then the crumbled cookie topping with more cinnamon-sugar creates the perfect finish. Every bite gives you multiple flavors and textures!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I make these bars ahead of time?
Absolutely! These bars actually benefit from some chilling time, making them perfect for preparing a day in advance. The flavors meld together beautifully, and the cheesecake layer firms up nicely. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
How do I know when they’re done baking?
Look for three key signs: the edges should be set and slightly pulling away from the pan, the top cookie layer should be golden brown, and the center will still have a slight jiggle (like the center of a cheesecake). Don’t overbake or the bars will become dry – they’ll continue to set as they cool.
Can I freeze these bars?
Yes! These freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Cut them into individual portions, wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and store in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or for about an hour at room temperature before enjoying.
My cream cheese was still a bit cold and now there are lumps in my cheesecake layer. Can I fix it?
If you notice lumps forming when mixing your cheesecake layer, let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to warm up a bit more, then beat again until smooth. In the future, make sure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature (leave it out for at least an hour) for the smoothest results.
Can I double this recipe?
This recipe already makes a generous amount in a 9×13 pan, but if you need more, you can double it and bake in a larger sheet pan. Just watch the baking time – you may need to add a few extra minutes since the surface area is larger.
