How to Make Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars

Step 1:

Start by preheating your oven to 350F and greasing a 9″ x 13″ baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2:

Make the cheesecake mixture. In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Make the snickerdoodle dough. In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, add butter and sugar. Mix until it becomes pale and fluffy using a hand mixer for about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until just combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing at low speed until just combined.

Step 4:

Press about 2/3 of the snickerdoodle dough on the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread it as evenly as possible. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top, then pour the cheesecake batter. Smoothen the top with a rubber spatula. Get the remaining snickerdoodle dough and break it up into small clumps. Sprinkle over the cheesecake layer, followed by more cinnamon sugar.

Step 5:

Place in the oven and bake until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. It will take about 35 to 40 minutes. Once done baking, let it cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
