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.

Ingredients

  • Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough Rolls – The no-fuss, scrumptious base that’s ready to roll and set the stage for the creamy magic to happen.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream – Whips into a frenzy to give these bars their luxuriously rich texture.
  • Cream Cheese – Not one, but two blocks of this creamy dreamy cheese make the base so smooth.
  • Granulated Sugar – Sweetens the deal and balances out the tang of the cream cheese.
  • BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie flavor – Brings that “oh-my-gosh-is-this-real-life” kind of flavor that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract – Just a dash elevates this dish.
  • Cookie Butter – The swirl that’ll make your taste buds twirl, adding a speculoos-y spin to the classic cheesecake vibe.

For the Cookie Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 8×8″ 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.

They’ll chill out nicely in the fridge for up to 5 days, waiting for you to indulge whenever the craving hits.
