For the Cheesecake Filling:
1. Make Sure the Cream Cheese is Softened:
For a smooth and lump-free filling, it’s crucial to use softened cream cheese. If you forget to take it out of the fridge ahead of time, you can soften it in the microwave in 10-second intervals until it’s soft to the touch.
2. Don’t Overmix the Dough:
When combining the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, be sure to mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense cookie dough, which isn’t ideal for the texture of the bars.
3. Chill the Bars:
Chilling is key to getting perfectly set cheesecake bars. Even though they may seem done after baking, chilling helps them firm up, making it easier to slice and enjoy.
