Description

This cookie has a chewy bottom crust with a sweet cream cheese layer on top. I like this best with a yellow or lemon cake mix.

  5. Make the cream cheese layer: Beat cream cheese and eggs in a bowl until combined. Gradually mix in confectioners’ sugar. Pour mixture over the cake mix layer in the sheet pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C)
  7. and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted at the center of the pan comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it
