Best Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars !!!!!

Best Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars !!!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!! Okay with thanksgiving right around the corner I wanted to experiment with a dessert and yes I actually baked!!! :) However, since you all know I hate to bake this recipe was so easy I would make it all the time !!! Ok here is what I did :

1 store bought cookie sugar cookie dough

8 0z cream cheese

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup canned pumpkin

Cooking spray – 13x 9 pan  

First start by spraying the baking pan and then take the roll of sugar cookie dough and press it into the pan – it will be very thin but no worries it will rise a bit. Then bake it at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until the sides start to come away from the pan and it sets, then take it out of the oven and let it cool. ( leave the oven on 350 ) Then in a bowl ( with and electric hand mixer ) beat the sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and cinnamon and then add each egg in one at a time – last add in the cup of pumpkin until everything is blended. Then pour the pumpkin mixture over the cooled cookie crust and put it back in the oven for 30 minutes. Once it comes out of the oven let it cool about 15- 20 minutes and then put the baking pan into the refrigerator for 30 minutes and let it set. Take it out and cut them into squares or smaller bars and enjoy!!!!!!

Can I tell you how amazed I was I made this and they were so awesome!!!!! Everyone who tried them, kids 7-18 and adults raved about them! The best part is you can make this the day before Thanksgiving and store them in the refrigerator and then serve them!!! :)  ( make sure you keep them in the refrigerator to store them )

This recipe is so easy and impressive its perfect for turkey day !! :) I hope this post has inspired you to get some sugar cookie dough at the grocery store and try these delicious and easy pumpkin bars to share with your family and friends!!!!
