Lime Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Bars
Lime Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Bars are super-easy-to-make dessert bars made with a rich and creamy lime cheesecake filling topped on a chewy sugar cookie crust. Made with only 4 ingredients, these cheesecake bars are a cinch to put together!
Equipment
- 1 8 x 8 glass baking dish
Ingredients
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese room temperature
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp. lime juice approximately 1 1/2 limes
- 16.5 oz. roll of Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Add cream cheese, sugar, and lime juice to a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Use a knife to cut off 3/4 of the cookie dough roll, set aside the remaining 1/4 of dough. Press the cookie dough into an ungreased 8 x 8 glass baking dish, making sure the crust is level and even across the dish. Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is nice and golden. When the crust comes out of the oven, it will have puffed up a little bit. Using a fork, smoosh the crust down flat, then let cool for 20 minutes.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the pre-baked cookie dough crust. With the remaining raw cookie dough, break it off into pieces and scatter them over the top of the cheesecake batter. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie dough pieces on top are nice and golden. Enjoy!
