Ingredients:
1 package (16 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Rainbow sprinkles (for topping)
Directions:
Prepare Pan and Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
Layer Cookie Dough:
Press half of the sugar cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Make Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Assemble Bars:
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie dough base.
Carefully flatten the remaining sugar cookie dough and place it on top of the cheesecake layer.
Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Make Icing:
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk until smooth and thick.
Pour the icing over the cooled bars and immediately add rainbow sprinkles on top.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing for clean squares.
