Growing up, I babysat two little boys almost every weekend and their mom introduced me to cheesecake cookie bars. I took this recipe that reminded me of childhood and recreated making the cookie dough from scratch with einkorn flour. It tastes just as delicious as I remember.

You won’t be able to stop at just one.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
Cut parchment paper and line a 13x9 dish.
Spray with avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil.
Set out 3 bowls. 1 large, 2 medium.
In one of the medium bowls combine 2 ¾ cups Einkorn flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt.
In a large bowl combine 1 cup organic butter, ¾ cup organic brown sugar, and ¾ cup evaporated sugar. Cream together with beater for 2 minutes.
Add in 2 tsp vanilla extractand 2 eggs. Beat together another 2 minutes.
Add in the flour mixture in ⅓'s. Mix well between each addition.
Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
In the final medium bowl, combine 8 oz package cream cheese, ¼ cup sugar, 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla. Mix together for 2 minutes.
Split the cookie dough in half. Press half of the dough into the base of the pan.
Pour the cream cheese mixture on top.
Press the cookie dough flat and place on top of the cream cheese mixture. You can do this in sections. Almost like pressing a cookie out flat. It is okay if the sections overlap a little bit.
Bake in the oven at 350℉ for 25-35minutes until cooked through.
Let cool and then refrigerate at least 3-4 hours.
Cut into 15 squares and enjoy!
