If the title of these alone doesn’t win you over, then I will have to shut down BoB. Really, there’s no hope if these don’t appeal to you.
These delicious bars begin with a graham cracker crust. While that usually means graham cracker crumbs and butter, this crust also contains miniature chocolate chips. Then, there is a cheesecake layer, which has been topped with dollops of chocolate chip cookie. If that weren’t enough, the whole thing is drizzled with even more chocolate.
I am happy to tell you that the end result is every bit as good as the name would imply. Each component is delicious, and the combination is just wonderful.
These bars come from The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook, which also brought us those Chocolate Chip-Filled Melting Moments. As you may also know, that is also the book I’m giving away. The response to this cookbook giveaway was beyond what I could have ever imagined. I sincerely thank you all for your participation and enthusiasm. I wish I could give all of you a copy of this book. Rest assured that this will not be my last giveaway. This was far too much fun to stop with just one!
That carafe held 772 chocolate chips. No one guessed that number exactly, but kimkim was closest with 777. Congratulations!

Holy geez these look and sound amazingly amazing! I must make them asap. And get this cookbook! I missed the contest.
2 Silvia // Apr 25, 2008 at 12:25 am
Oh my…these bars look so yummy!! I’d love to be able to do something like this! You are so good!
Silvia
3 andreea // Apr 25, 2008 at 2:04 am
these look sinfully delicious! now where i can i get that book?
4 Lisa // Apr 25, 2008 at 5:10 am
That’s some of the tastiest looking food I’ve seen in a long while. I need some.
5 Jenn // Apr 25, 2008 at 5:18 am
Oh my goodness, those look fantastic! I think my hips expanded 3 inches just looking at the pictures.
6 grace // Apr 25, 2008 at 6:23 am
good heavens. each component is delicious on its own, but together? are you kidding me? i bow to your greatness.
7 Patricia Scarpin // Apr 25, 2008 at 7:35 am
I was drooling only by reading the name, Jen!
This is so luscious.
8 RecipeGirl // Apr 25, 2008 at 7:59 am
Jen- are you kidding me??? These are just about the most amazing baked good I’ve seen in a long time. Totally something that I crave for sure!! Bookmarking
9 Katherine // Apr 25, 2008 at 8:53 am
Hmmm… I want to bake these right.now. Only, maybe I’m losing it, I can’t find the recipe when I click on the “printable recipe” link. Where should I be looking?
10 Aria // Apr 25, 2008 at 8:56 am
Wow, yummy! When I click for the printable recipe nothing comes up. Am I missing something? I’d love to make them.
11 Hillary // Apr 25, 2008 at 9:01 am
What did you use to make the drizzled chocolate look so pretty? These look amazing.
12 RobynE // Apr 25, 2008 at 9:17 am
I also can seem to get the printable recipe link to work… and my library system doesn’t have this book.
13 jennifer // Apr 25, 2008 at 9:19 am
Thanks, Ashley. Sorry you missed the giveaway!
Silvia, these are really not that hard. There are three separate components to make, but each of them is pretty simple.
Andreea, I highly recommend this book. Many recipes I’d love to try.
Thanks, Lisa!
Jenn, I know what you mean. I ate one, purely for testing purposes. Then, I started thinking who I could give these to so I could remove the temptation to eat all of them.
LOL, grace. Thanks!
Thanks, Patricia! That title just kills me.
RecipeGirl, they really are good. Plus I think they look impressive, too!
Katherine, Aria & RobynE, sorry about the bad link. It’s fixed now. Thanks for letting me know!
Hillary, I must confess that I have no patience for drizzling chocolate. That was all Quinn. He put the melted chocolate in a plastic bag and cut the corner off to squeeze it out.
14 Richelle // Apr 25, 2008 at 9:35 am
These bars are to die for! I found the same recipe in my cooking pleasures magazine a couple of years ago and have made them many times since. Can’t go wrong with cheesecake anything!
15 Cheryl // Apr 25, 2008 at 10:10 am
Ohhhh…do those look sooo good! Are you trying to kill us with all the chocolate chippy goodness lately?! Job done!
16 deborah // Apr 25, 2008 at 10:48 am
Wow - I was way off! But I can tell by looking at these bars that they are right on! Can’t wait to make them!
17 katy // Apr 25, 2008 at 11:39 am
oh my goodness. that looks incredible. you’re right, if there’s a person out there who doesn’t love these, they’re just… wrong.
18 Hélène // Apr 25, 2008 at 11:46 am
Looks great. Where is the recipe?
19 patsyk // Apr 25, 2008 at 11:58 am
You had me at chocolate chip cookie dough…. oh yeah!
20 Jerry // Apr 25, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Umm yummy! I’m so in!
21 jennifer // Apr 25, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Richelle, I agree. Cheesecake gets me every time.
Cheryl, I certainly mean no harm. I have been overdoing it with the chocolate chips, though, huh?
deborah, I hope you like them!
Thanks, katy! What’s not to like?
Helene, the recipe link is at the top of the post under the title. Or, click here.
patsyk, that’s about where they had me, too!
Thanks, Jerry!
22 Hendria // Apr 25, 2008 at 4:39 pm
wow…..wow…..they look amazingly…..GOOD!!!!!
23 Laura @ Hungry and Frozen // Apr 25, 2008 at 7:58 pm
They look insane! Not one to have before you go to the dentists, I’m sure…the title alone had me drooling
24 Kevin // Apr 25, 2008 at 8:02 pm
That looks so good!! Great job with the drizzle.
25 Sophie // Apr 25, 2008 at 11:15 pm
after baking 60 batches of cookies in a month, i’m fairly cookied out…at least I was until I saw these :D. The concept of a cookie dough bar is definitely a cool one :).
26 Aran // Apr 26, 2008 at 4:40 am
What else can I add to these comments. The photos say it all! Gooey!
27 Indigo // Apr 26, 2008 at 8:21 am

I saw these on Tastespotting and knew instinctively it was you before I’d even read the user name ^__^. I don’t have enough caps locks to show how much I love these…
28 e // Apr 26, 2008 at 9:15 am
I’m drooling all over my shirt. You are amazing.
29 Nicole // Apr 26, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Ohhh my goodness. This is right up my alley. These look so awesome.
30 jennifer // Apr 26, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Thanks, Hendria!
Laura, I’m sure dentists would frown at most of BoB’s content.
Kevin, that drizzle was all Quinn. He has quite the knack (and patience) for it.
Sophie, 60 batches of cookies would do anyone in!
Aran, “gooey” is a great description.
Thanks, Indigo! How very sweet!
e, thank you so much!
Nicole, I think these would be right up most anyone’s alley. Thanks!
31 Rachelle ~ "Mommy? I'm Hungry!" // Apr 26, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Those turned out beautiful! Nice work on the drizzle. They look so rich and sweet! Definitely one to take to a get together to share.
32 Susan at Sticky,Gooey,Creamy,Chewy // Apr 26, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Holy Cookie Dough, Batman! Those look amazing! You did a beautiful job with the decorating too. A stellar dessert!
33 jennifer // Apr 27, 2008 at 9:42 am
Thanks, Rachelle & Susan!
34 Cindy // Apr 27, 2008 at 7:00 pm
One word. YUM!!!
35 Katie // Apr 28, 2008 at 8:25 am
Ok I have to make these. They look amazing.
36 Jill // Apr 28, 2008 at 11:16 am
I need to stop coming here. It is way, way too dangerous.
37 christie // Apr 28, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Seriously…Yum! I have to make these tonight. You are an inspiration to the mouth!
38 Tracy // Apr 28, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Oh wow. I am so craving those. But I must not.
39 jennifer // Apr 28, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Cindy, that about sums it up!
Katie, I hope you like them as much as we did.
Jill! Don’t stop visiting BoB! We love visitors!
Thanks, Christie! Hope you like them.
Tracy, if you cave and make them, let me know what you think.
40 Sarah // Apr 28, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything before that looks this delicious! I definitely need to bookmark these (just like about everything you post)!
41 Carla // Apr 29, 2008 at 8:19 am
Can I come over for dessert? haha They look AMAZING and I’m tempted to buy that book right now.
42 Nuwanda // Apr 29, 2008 at 2:05 pm
This will be the next thing I bake. Oh my word. Fabulous presentation too! Kudos to you and Quinn Quinn.
43 jennifer // Apr 29, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Sarah, I highly recommend these. Thanks for your very kind comments!
Carla, come on over! This book has so many recipes I want to try. A must have for chocolate lovers.
My dear Nuwanda, I know you will love these. I wish I could have shared them with you!
44 tanya // Apr 29, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Oh my, these look heavenly! I need to make these asap!
45 jennifer // Apr 30, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Tanya, I hope you like them!
46 Katrina // May 2, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I was intrigued and apparently hungry when I saw that I didn’t win the cook book with my guess of how many chocolate chips, so I bought it and it arrived today. YUM! Can’t wait to try many of the recipes. But I will probably start with this one. I love cookie dough, cheesecake and lots of chocolate. Yours looks divine (and better than the one in the cookbook, I might add.) Thanks!
47 Katrina // May 2, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Okay, so I lied, I didn’t make these bars yet, but I did make some killer chocolate chip cookies from this book just now. Oh my goodness–so yummy. The recipe is Chock Full of Chocolate Chip Cookies. There is so much chocolate and it’s the perfect buttery, crispy, still soft in the middle cookie. I’ll try to get pictures posted soon. While I’ve recently been talking about and have tasted the “famous” Levain cookie, the one in this book is amazing as well, completely different from the Levain, but SO good! Thanks for the heads up on this cookbook!
48 Katrina // May 2, 2008 at 3:47 pm
P. S. I used a bunch of different chips I had on hand, some Guillitard Milk Choc.–big ones, some Hershey’s Semi Sweet chips, some Hershey’s Dark Choc Chips, some mini chips and some chopped dark choc. Dove chocolate. To die for!
49 jennifer // May 2, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Katrina, I came very close to making those cookies. They sounded wonderful. As for Levain, I’m hopefully headed back there next week. Those cookies are amazing!
50 Julia // May 4, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Ohhh.. I made these today for a get together and everyone really loved them. Kids and adults raved. Yumm!
P.S. I’m just curious but do you know if there’s rules to publishing a recipe on your blog that comes from a copyrighted book? I posted the recipe because you did (two potential wrongs make a right, right?) but it still makes me a bit nervous.
51 jennifer // May 5, 2008 at 7:09 am
Glad they were a hit, Julia! As for copyright issues, I’ve done a good bit of research. A recipe can’t actually be copyrighted, but the text of the directions can. If you reword the book’s or whomever’s directions, then you’re fine.
52 Tartelette // May 5, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Sorry for the info, but this is PMS heaven for me tonight! Brilliant!
53 jennifer // May 6, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Tartelette, don’t worry - you’re among friends.
54 kim // May 8, 2008 at 11:47 am
oh man! these look SO DELICIOUS… i am going to have to buy the book now just for these
55 jennifer // May 9, 2008 at 7:55 am
kim, there are lots of great recipes in this book. Definitely worth it as far as I’m concerned.
56 emilee // May 11, 2008 at 6:07 pm
This looks amazing and completely yummy, cute pics!
57 jennifer // May 11, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Thanks, emilee!
58 anna // May 13, 2008 at 8:46 pm
oooo yum! how well do you think these would hold up in the mail (well packaged, of course)?
59 erica // May 13, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I already feel like I am in a diabetic coma! yummmy!
60 jennifer // May 14, 2008 at 9:25 am
Anna, these need to be kept refrigerated so that makes mailing them tough. I have shipped a cheesecake before, but I froze it first then shipped it overnight. Not cheap, but it worked.
LOL, erica. Thanks!
61 Foodaholic // May 15, 2008 at 11:31 am
Cheesecake and cookie dough! The best of both worlds for sure.
62 jennifer // May 15, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Absolutely, Foodaholic!
63 MuzzyBlue // May 20, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Oh. My. Gawd. These are sensational! Every bite is an org…er…very, very good. I made these this past weekend, and I am now considered a genius by my sons’ friends (the ones who hang around our house waiting for me to bake something from scratch, a novel idea to them since their mothers don’t do it).
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe!!
64 jennifer // May 20, 2008 at 6:09 pm
MuzzyBlue, I’m so glad they were a hit! Definitely one of my favorite sweet treats.
65 Dondon // May 21, 2008 at 11:05 am
That Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars really looks delicious..anyway, where’s the recipe??
66 jennifer // May 21, 2008 at 11:24 am
Thanks, Dondon. The recipe link is beneath the title of the post.
67 RavingRecipes // May 25, 2008 at 9:50 am
OH YUM!! I am so glad that I discovered this blog! Your recipes and photos look so delicious. Can you say addiction? It’s my new craving!! I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!
68 jennifer // May 25, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Thanks so much, RavingRecipes. I’m glad you’re here!
69 Margaret // May 27, 2008 at 2:56 am
Help! My husband is on a low colesterol diet so I’ll have to eat these all myself. Well done you.
70 jennifer // May 27, 2008 at 9:01 am
Thanks, Margaret! Maybe you can share with someone else. Enjoy!
71 Andrea // Jun 14, 2008 at 11:25 pm
I made these last night for a party I had today. They are delicious, though mine turned out rather crumbly, possibly because I didn’t bother with the drizzle on top.
As it was, next time I will make more “cheesecake” and put in less chocolate chips, but that’s mostly a personal preference.
Great recipe! They certainly didn’t last long!
72 jennifer // Jun 15, 2008 at 9:28 am
Andrea, everyone’s tastes and preferences are different. I am a big believer in adjusting recipes to fit them. I’m glad you liked them!

You had me at Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough..and then you throw in the cheesecake bar part! My goodness.. These were amazing!
I am absolutely in love with your site and have just started a blog of my own.. I am not sure of all of the proper blogging etiquette but I hope it is okay that I linked to your blog from mine..
78 jennifer // Aug 18, 2008 at 5:11 pm

84 Susana // Dec 16, 2008 at 11:14 am
Can you alter this recipe for other size pans? Has anyone tried any other size pan? I just have so many pans, right now, I don’t want to end up with yet another one. The closes thing I have is a 10 inch square pan.

it looks like so delicious. Ehm Yummy
88 Simulation pret immobilier // May 13, 2009 at 12:31 am
Wow it looks delicious!
89 Rachel // May 13, 2009 at 11:46 am
your oatmeal chocolate chip cookies came up about half an hour ago when I googled marbled chocolate and I havne’t been able to leave your webstie since. You are an amazing baker, I think you passed “ametur” status a long time ago, and your pictures are gorgeous. I’m a college student who enjoys baking for my friends’ get togethers. This recipie in particular looks dangerous, with some of this there is very little the wielder couldn’t get someone, especially a college type someone, to do.
90 kayla // Jun 2, 2009 at 8:08 pm
these look amazing…one question, however. does the cookie dough part cook up to cookie like texture (as in regular old choc chip cookies), or remain more like raw cookie dough (as in choc chip cookie dough ice cream)?
91 Lillith // Jun 3, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Well there goes the diet. I am drooling as i type. I think you are amazing!
92 jennifer // Jun 3, 2009 at 6:15 pm
kayla, it is more the consistency of cookie dough than cookies.
93 Souf // Jun 12, 2009 at 5:14 pm
I made these today. Didn’t turn out like pictured. The cookie dough part was not doughy, more crumb-like. It only became crumbly after i put the flour. I’ll make it again, but ill modify it so it’ll be pieces of dough and ill make more cheesecake filling (it was too subtle for my taste). Nonetheless, it still came out tasting good. Also it was very rich and sweet even without the chocolate drizzle on top.
Even with the setbacks, you still can’t go wrong with chocolate. Thanks for the recipe!
94 Sam // Jun 28, 2009 at 1:15 pm
I made these and they were great! I did a shortcut and used store bought cookie dough, and it was pretty good. I am sure the homemade dough would have been better, but it saved me some time. My family gobbled them up in 2 days. I will definitely make this again.
