EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use a wet knife for cutting cheesecake bars, wiping off crumbs after each cut.

Cold butter is needed to create a "just right" streusel texture and a crust that's easy to handle.

We really liked these. I was confused, however, how the batter was supposed to be crumbly for the top. Once I added the egg, it was like chocolate chip cookie dough. I did my best to drop some spoonfuls on top of the cheesecake. Next time I would also sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.

They are not real sweet. I would like to try this with a brownie mix or actual chocolate chip cookie mix. The cookie and the filling did not have a lot of flavor. I would only make them again if I made the filling a little sweeter and change out the cookie dough. I had to use a smaller pan, not enough dough for 9x13 pan.

This turned out great and my BF also loved it. I actually added extra milk chocolate morsels (can't get enough chocolate). Only thing I would change for next time, add more cheesecake batter (i.e. cream cheese portion) and maybe melt some chocolate over the crust.
