The easiest and most delicious cookie cheesecake swirl bars for all cookie lovers made with BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers! If you love these, you will also love this Maple Cheesecake or these Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Bars!
I’m going through quite a bit of a cookie phase right now I must admit. I actually blame (or thank depending on how you look at it) BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers for this. It all started with their BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie flavor which became quite the addiction in my house. I began adding it to my coffee unaware of the obsession that would develop. Then I started adding it anything I could think of. That’s where the idea for these cookie cheesecake swirl bars came in.
My first idea was to add the vanilla cookie flavor to a low maintenance cheesecake recipe. I replaced heavy cream with BAILEYS™ creamer in my favorite no-bake cheesecake filling, and I was totally in love with the results. The nostalgic taste of the vanilla cookie flavor was such a lovely compliment to the tanginess of the cream cheese. I could have stopped there but I decided to add a bit more crazy cookie flavor to this cheesecake concept for all the cookie lovers out there.
I created the crust out of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Yes! I did! Easy and yummy. It bakes into the most stable yet delicious crust you have ever tasted. Then I topped the crust with melted cookie butter. Next the cheesecake filling went on top of the cookie butter and the remaining cookie butter was swirled through for a lovely decorative effect.
If you love cookies like I do, you will absolutely fall in love with these bars and BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie. These cheesecake bars are so simple to make, filled with fun cookie flavor, and absolutely irresistible. I guarantee once you have one of these, you will begin a serious cookie phase too.

Cookie Cheesecake Swirl Bars
Ingredients
- 2 16.5 oz refrigerated sugar cookie dough rolls
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 2 blocks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie flavor
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cookie butter
Instructions
For the Cookie Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 8x8" baking pans with non-stick baking spray.
- Evenly pat cookie dough into the bottom of the pans creating a crust (Cookie dough should be a little colder than room temperature to work with easily).
- Bake for 15 minutes then allow it to cool to room temperature.
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- Add heavy cream to stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) on high speed and whip until heavy peaks develop. Store whipped cream in a separate bowl in the refrigerator.
- Add cream cheese to stand mixer and mix on medium high speed.
- Next add sugar and BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie flavor to bowl and mix until well incorporated.
- Lastly mix in vanilla extract and turn off mixer.
- Remove whipped cream from refrigerator and fold into cream cheese batter.
To Assemble:
- Melt cookie butter for 15-20 seconds in a microwave until thin enough to pour.
- Evenly spread 2/3s of cookie butter on both cooled cookie crusts.
- Next pour half of cheesecake filling over each crust and spread until even.
- Lastly randomly spoon remaining cookie butter over tops of cheesecake filling. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the cookie butter in a decorative pattern of your choosing.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours then using a warm knife, cut into 3 rows horizontally and vertically to create 9 bars then refrigerate. Serve refrigerate.

Bailey’s Coffee Creamers are no longer available in my area. Do you recommend a substitute? I know I am late in discovering these bars, but I am hoping you have an alternative suggestions. I am anxious to make these soon, if you can help.
You can use a vanilla flavored creamer instead! Hope you enjoy!
These look amazing however baileys has discontinued this particular creamer. Will the recipe work without it or can something be substituted for it
Yes you can substitute with Baileys Irish Cream if you would like.
Can’t wait to try this, simply beautiful! One question am I missing something where or what is cookie butter? I’m sure it’s in front of my face but just can’t pick it up.
This cookie cheesecake swirl bars looks heavenly.
I am a cookie lover so count me in!
oh my gawd, J!!! LOVE these cheesecake swirl bars!!!! and love the BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie flavor in there!!!
The measurement for the cream cheese seems like a lot for an 8×8 pan. Usually they come in 3oz. Or 8 oz. packages. I’ve never seen a 16 oz. pkg. should it be 16 oz. total?
I see two 8 inch pans, my bad, could I use one 9×13?
Yes you can!
Hi Jane, yes it should be 16 ounces total so 2 8 ounce packages. I cleared it up in the instructions as well. Thanks so much.
These look delicious!!! A must try!!!
I’m really boring — I use regular old milk in my coffee so I never have the delicious coffee creamers like this. It sounds perfect for baking, however…these cheesecake bars look unbelievably good!
This is a great solution for spicing up that old fashioned coffee Marcie.
