Don't overmix. • Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. • Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough into the prepared pan and sprinkle with as much cinnamon sugar as you'd like. You don't need to use it all, just use enough for the amount of cinnamon flavor you prefer. • Bake the cookie base for 10 minutes at 165°C / 330°F, then remove it from the oven and let it cool on the side. 🤍 CHEESECAKE FILLING • Beat the cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth. • Add the Greek yogurt or sour cream, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt and mix until smooth. • Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the egg yolk, mixing just until incorporated. Don't overmix. • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cookie base and spread evenly. • Pinch the remaining cookie dough into small pieces and scatter them over the cheesecake, leaving some cheesecake visible. • Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top, using just enough to lightly cover the surface. You don't need to use it all. • Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden and the center still has a gentle jiggle. • Baking time may vary from oven to oven, so keep an eye on your cheesecake and adjust the baking time according to how your oven works. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs and a little cheesecake, not completely clean. • Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature for at least 3 hours, then refrigerate until chilled and fully set. • For the creamiest texture, let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before slicing. 🍯 DULCE DE LECHE • Mix the dulce de leche with milk and microwave for 5–10 seconds. Stir until smooth then drizzle over the chilled cheesecake. • Cut into 9 large pieces, serve, and enjoy! 🤎🍪🍯 🍪 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍂 ⏰ Chapters 00:00 Intro 🍂 00:22 Making the Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough 🍪 02:39 Assembling the Cookie Base🤎 03:42 Making the Cheesecake Filling 05:44 Assembling the Cheesecake 06:42 Baking the Cheesecake 06:53 Making the Dulce de Leche Drizzle 🍯 07:21 Decorating & Slicing 🍪 08:14 Final Reveal 🤎✨ If you make these Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars, let me know how you liked them! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 Full written recipe + macros now available on Osta Recipes 🍯 ➡ 🍪 Shop My Baking Faves: 👉 https://amzn.to/3Q6Vkb1 (Affiliate links • This means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
