Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16.5 oz tube sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • Optional:
  • Colorful sprinkles
  • Powdered sugar for extra sweetness

Method
 

  1. Prep & Preheat
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
  4. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Optional: Mix in 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar for added sweetness.
  6. Layer the Crust
  7. Cut cookie dough in half. Press one half evenly into the baking dish to form the base.
  8. Assemble the Layers
  9. Pour cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading smoothly.
  10. Break the remaining cookie dough into small pieces and scatter over the top (they’ll melt into a golden crust as they bake).
  11. Bake & Cool
  12. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden.
  13. Let cool in the pan for 1 hour (this helps the cheesecake set!).
  14. Garnish & Serve
  15. Top with sprinkles (if using), then cut into 9 squares.

Notes

Extra Fluffy: Use whipped cream cheese for a lighter texture.
