Lemon Cheesecake Cookie Bars
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit, or one seventy-five degrees Celsius.
2
Combine two main ingredients - flour and walnuts - with butter and brown sugar in a bowl. Mix well to create a uniform blend of the four ingredients.
3
Place half of the mixture in a nine by thirteen-inch baking dish, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4
Bake the crust in the preheated oven until it reaches a golden brown color, approximately fifteen minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and leave it on.
5
In a separate bowl, combine two key ingredients - cream cheese and white sugar - using an electric mixer until they are fully incorporated. Add eggs, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; continue to mix until the ingredients are perfectly blended.
6
Pour the creamy mixture over the baked crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top to add texture and flavor.
7
Bake the entire assembly in the hot oven until it is set, approximately twenty-five minutes.
