This recipe was easy to make and everyone loved it. I work with alot of international students and they usually think American desserts are too sweet. They loved this and one person even asked me to please make it for his mom when she visits from India!!!

Great addition to a wedding shower dessert buffet. I lined the pan with parchment paper so I could remove and cut easily into small squares. Topped each with a fresh raspberry for a beautiful presentation. Also added a little toasted coconut to the crust for additional flavor. Only thing I would change would be to use slightly less crust (it was a bit too thick for the filling)




Something I did?

Maybe it was something I did while baking, but I didn't think these had a great flavor. I love most everything Paula Deen makes but not impressed with this one, sorry! Possibly a touch of lemon zest would zing it up?

Quick & easy to make. I did use my pan to melt my butter for the crust so it was a greased pan instead of dry and the cookies came right out with no problem.

these cheesecake BARS were delicious. i used walnuts in the crust instead, and i actually only used half the amount of brown sugar (i ran out) so i put alittle reg sugar in its place! hehe oops! everyone loved them though! i also did not have the correct size pan so i used a 6x6. worked out great. would definitely make them again!




OK at best

For starters, the title for these "cookies" is misleading. They're really bars. Also, the directions say not to grease the pan, but when I made them I ended up losing half the crust when I tried to cut them. The cream cheese mixture was boring, a little dry and not especially tasty. Disappointing.




Honestly, Deliciously Terrific Recipe!

My son had a bake sale at school, so I decided to try this recipe. The turnout at the bake sale was great!! He sold all the cookies and the teachers were requesting my son for the recipe. Apart from the recipe I added a sprinkle of confectionary sugar on the surface with a strawberry. Great recipe, Total Knockout...




Amazing!!

For someone who doesn't even LOVE cheesecake this was great! I used half vanilla and half almond and the almond really gave it a great taste. Someone had commented about the crust being too thin so I used a slightly smaller dish and baked it for a few more minutes and the crust came out good and stayed together. I think this would be good with a sauce of reduced mixed berries on top for your favorite cheesecake topping but this was GREAT without it. I will make this again and again!

Read the reviews before you make this dessert--very helpful. Made them today in a 9x9 pan --they do take 30 minutes to bake--and added the juice of 2 lemons and zest of one and halved the vanilla (didn't think i'd like them with just the vanilla flavor). They were creamy and good with some lemon flavor but i prefer a stronger lemon/citrus flavor. When i make them again i'll probably use zest and juice of two lemons with a third in reserve (finely mince the zest and let it soak in the juice, it really softens the zest and eliminates the stringiness). I will also follow another reviewer's suggestion and throw the pecans into the food processor so that they are more finely ground and distributed in the crust. This has real possibilities and is just so easy to make. Drizzle with some flavored sauces and it's a winner.

What a great idea -- cheesecake "sheet" cake. I saw this episode over the weekend and had to try it out. I subbed almonds for pecans in the crust and added the zest and juice of 1 lemon and a 5 oz. package of goat cheese to the "filling". This was by far the easiest cheesecake I've ever made (and I have made dozens as I used to make desserts at a local restaurant). My husband tried a slice of it warm last night and loved it. Thank you, Paula!

With the understanding that I don't like every Paula recipe I've tried, and won't try some others because I can just tell they're not good, this one I do love! I love to cook but don't do baking, but I had to bake a couple dozen cookies for a school dinner. These looked simple and I love cheesecake, so after reading the reviews, I tried them. What a hit! They're plenty sweet, even without fruit topping (I used pecan halves), but would be fine with a drizzle of carmel or strawberry topping. BUT do bake them longer -- 20 minutes is not enough.

I have made these "Cookies" at least twice. My husband LOVES them!!! I usually make the cookies and a casserole (put both in the fridge) when I am leaving him behind to take a trip out of town...unfortunately that may mean he looks forward to my leaving town more often:)

This definately needs to cook longer than the recipe calls for. The crust on this was so different and amazing. Instead of using vanilla extract I used almond and it gives it such a different flavor. Next time I'm going to add alittle bit more extract. This is my 3rd recipe I've tried of Paula's and I've never been disappointed!

I t sound like the cookies are delicious. But Oven vary so it might take 30 instead of twenty minutes and remember everyone taste prefrences varie so if you dont think it has enough flavor then thats your opinoin don't try to turn people off from wanting to make the dish!

Extremely easy and quick to make. I doubled the recipe to make bars, cooking the crust the same amount of time, but taking a bit longer for the filling, and it turned out perfect. If doing this way, it definitely needs to chill for at least a few hours before serving to settle like a regular cheesecake. Next time might add cinnamon to the crust. Definitely a keeper!




Love the Crust!

These are pretty darn good. The best part though is the crust. I bought whole glazed pecans and crushed them up. Drizzle a little caramel sauce over the top, and it's a great alternative to pecan pie on Turkey Day!

This recipe was very easy and so delicious. I made them the night before for a Mother's Day Brunch and they were great. I used a 9x9 pan and they came out like bars. I think a 13x9 pan would make them too thin. Would definitely make again. I just can't decide if I liked them better warm or after they've been refrigerated.

I made this desert to go with a pasta dish I made for a friend who had just had a baby. They loved it! But, instead of garnishing with a sliced strawberry, I mashed a bunch of stawberries and made a strawberry topping. I added a packet of splenda to it, and it was a hit! I will definitely make this again, not only for friends, but for my family too! Thanks Paula!

My husband has been begging me to make him a cheesecake and when I found this recipe I decided to grant his wish. It was great! I did change it a little by making it in a 9x9 pan instead of a 9x13 to make them thicker and then baked it a little longer also. These cheesecake bars were so yummy I will be making them again for sure. Thanks Paula!!

I'd call these more like bars than cookies, but either way they are delicious! Yes...spray the pan good with a vegetable spray like Pam. I baked them in a 9 X 9 pan so they'd be thicker and served them with strawberry and blueberry preserves on top and a dollop of whipped cream. Everyone loved them!

The recipe is a winner aside from the length of time needed to bake. You must bake for 30 min, instead of 20. Otherwise, everything else is right on the money. You won't be disappointed. Use a smaller pan if you're desiring a thick product.
