Super easy to make and I received tons of compliments on it.

These are really good and make regular chocolate chip cookies into something special. I have made these with homemade cookie dough, and they are better.

These are part of my Christmas baking every year, and are always a big hit.

My kids loved these bars, but I was not that thrilled with them. They were okay but nothing to rave about. My daughter is standing over my shoulder saying my review is crazy that she LOVED them.

I have been making these bars since 2001 after seeing this recipe! I make them at least 4 times a year. I do use 2 tubes of dough and then make it in a 9x13 pan as there is plenty of "filling" to cover that big of a pan. Enjoy!

These are really good and easy. I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to the cream cheese mixture. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because I had a little problem with them sticking to the pan even though I greased it and they tend to fall apart quite easily. I would make them again though, they do taste delicious.

These were fabulous! I added a little vanilla extract to the cream cheese filling. Definitely a keeper.

The cream cheese filling wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

I have made this several times and it is a winner. When people ask for the recipe, they are so pleased to see how easy it is. I add a little almond extract to the cream cheese filling and it pushes it over the top.
