Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8-inch-square baking dish with foil. Gently press 16 squares of the cookie dough onto the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Set aside.

In a large mixer bowl or with a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, lemon juice, salt, and vanilla; mix until combined. Pour mixture into pan over dough. Spread evenly. Use your hands to break up the remaining cookie dough squares and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Let cool to room temperature on a cooling rack. Refrigerate for at least an hour prior to serving.
