Recipe

The hunt has begun for amazing new recipes for my personal use. I recently have been over to visit my grandmother and gotten some good, traditional recipes that have been in the family for a long time.

Yesterday was cooking day to try out the new recipes. I am happy to report that none of them turned out to be a flop!

Here is one of my new favorite dessert recipes.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

1/2 cup cold butter
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix
1 egg
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

1.Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2.In large bowl, cut butter into cookie mix using fork or pasty blender. Stir in 1 egg until mixture is crumbly. Gently spoon 3 cups crumb mixture into pan; press into bottom of pan. Bake 15 minutes.
3.In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, 2 eggs and the vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Pour over cookie crust. Spoon remaining crumb mixture over cream cheese.
4.Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled. For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
