The more chocolate the better, right? Especially when it’s Double Chocolate Cookie Bars with a delicious cream cheese layer! This easy dessert starts with a double chocolate chip cookie dough made from scratch. Next comes a cream cheese layer that is made with just 4 ingredients.

Cream cheese is such a wonderful thing. It goes well with so many different flavors and makes them even better. Case in point — cream cheese and chocolate in these Double Chocolate Cream Cheese Cookie Bars!

I have seen lots of bar cookies with a cream cheese layer on Pinterest, but they are always made with a regular chocolate chip cookie. My motto is the more chocolate the better! So these DOUBLE chocolate bars were born…

These bars are HUGE! One layer of double chocolate cookie, a layer of cream cheese filling and then MORE cookie on top.

These decadent bars are addicting! I wanted to grab a spoon and just eat the whole pan. It’s a good thing I made these in 8×8 pan instead of a bigger one!
