- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift out the finished bars.
- Cookie Dough Layer:
- Press the refrigerated cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a flat and even layer. This will be the base of your bars.
- Oreo Layer:
- Place the Oreo cookies in a single layer on top of the cookie dough. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need more or fewer cookies to cover the dough.
- Cheesecake Layer:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the layer of Oreos, spreading it out to cover them completely.
- Baking:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and firm.
- Finishing Touches:
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into bars or squares.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, top each bar with an Oreo half or crumbled Oreos. Drizzle with chocolate sauce or ganache if desired.
- Serving:
- Serve chilled. These bars are rich, so small squares can go a long way.
Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to get creative with the cookie dough layer by using your favorite homemade cookie dough recipe, or mix in some extra chocolate chips or candy pieces into store-bought dough for added flavor.
- Storing: Slutty Cheesecake Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
