2. Prepare Cookie Dough Base: Take one package of chocolate chip cookie dough and slice it into approximately 24 slices.

3. Line Pan with Cookie Dough: Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan and line the bottom with the sliced cookie dough, ensuring to cover the entire bottom of the pan. There may be some gaps, which is okay.

4. Add Cream Cheese Layer: Pour the prepared cream cheese mixture over the layer of cookie dough in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the dough.

5. Top with Remaining Cookie Dough: Take the remaining package of chocolate chip cookie dough and slice it into slices. Arrange the slices over the cream cheese mixture, covering it completely.

6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F if using a glass pan). Place the prepared pan in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

7. Cool and Chill: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the cookies are very cold.

8. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the pan from the refrigerator and slice the cookies into small squares, approximately 1 inch in size. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

• For best results, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before using to ensure a smooth mixture.
• You can customize these cookies by adding nuts or additional chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor and texture.
• Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for maximum freshness.
