Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

Cheesecake has to rank among one of my favorite desserts. Cookies, however, will always be my all time favorite. There’s something comforting about the simplicity of a warm cookie that brings back memories of my childhood. I grew up baking cookies with my mother and grandmother and to this day it’s my favorite thing to do with my daughter. Recently I combined my two favorite desserts into a gluten free cookie dough cheesecake bar with mini Reese’s.

I made a semi-homemade version of this recipe using the new Pillsbury gluten free cookie dough. The cookie dough was a mixture between a soft and crispy crust that complimented the cheesecake filling. The Reese’s were a necessary bonus, of course. A chocolate chip cookie crust, cheesecake filling, and Reese’s..sounds like the perfect combination to me! I have to admit I was pretty glad to see these cheesecake bars go quickly, I’m afraid I would’ve eaten them all if everyone else didn’t. I’m planning on making them again for a birthday party in a few weeks, I’m thinking of adding chocolate chips to the batter instead of Reese’s.

Pillsbury’s new gluten free cookie dough is great for creating desserts with or enjoying a delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookie. Over the last few months we’ve been incorporating more gluten-free meals into our diet and I’ve found that eating gluten-free is not as easy for someone who loves baking like I do. I’m still new to using gluten-free recipes but I’m always excited to try new gluten free products that can help  make things easier. I purchased the only container left at my store but I’m already looking forward to trying new gluten free desserts when I get a hold of more.
