Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix crushed cookies and melted butter, then press firmly into the pan.
- Bake the crust briefly until set and allow it to cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla.
- Fold chopped cookies into the filling for extra crunch and texture.
- Spread filling over the crust and bake until the center is lightly set.
- Cool completely, chill until firm, then slice into bars and serve.
Notes
For a softer crust, reduce baking time slightly. For a crispier base, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze fully chilled bars in airtight layers for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Use a warm knife for clean slices during assembly. Customize flavors with peanut butter, mint extract, caramel drizzle, or white chocolate. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
