Tips

- The recipe is versatile enough to adjust the baking time based on desired cookie dough texture.
- These bars are super thick, so some browning of the cookie dough top is expected, even with adjustments.
- Regardless of the cheesecake filling amount, the end result will be a delicious bar that is half cheesecake and half chocolate chip cookie, a definite win.
