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

The secret to cutting bars easily is to line the pan with foil. Just lift out the baked bars and cut. Spray the foil for best results.

I had the same problem as cookcali. The bottom cookie layer was dried up, stuck to the pan, and crumbled when taking out of dish. I took this to a Christmas party at work. How embarassing. I do not recommend this receipe.

This recipe came out exactly perfect and according to the directions given. The newer oven I have now heats properly, the last one I had was always too hot and I think that makes a big difference. I baked the bars in a plain old Eccoware pan sprayed with butter flavor cooking spray. I also let the first two layers cool completely. I could not find strawberry frosting in two stores, so I subsituted cherry instead. I added grated orange peel into the cheesecake layer. The kids were delighted with the outcome and the cookie bars disappeared rapidly.

Delicious...Easy to make. Cooked 27 minutes, using a dark pan and worked great. Added melted white chocolate to cream cheese center and then drizzled it on top of frosting for an added touch. Big hit with the family!! Will use this recipe again.
