Moo Cow Cookie Bars

Cheesecake and cookies are 2 of my favorite things and combining them together into one mega delicious cookie bar isn't a bad thing. Not to mention, they are super simple to prepare and only require a few ingredients. Your fan club (kids, guests, and significant other) will ask you for seconds of these. 

I recommend securing a secret stash for yourself, or you may find yourself missing out on these gooey, spotted bars of deliciousness.

2. Spread 2/3 of the cookie dough on the bottom of the pan.

3. Cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and egg. Spread over cookie dough base.
