Enjoy this five-star and easy-to-follow Dulce De Leche Cheesecake Cookie Bars. These bars offer a unique flavor combination everyone will love.
Hello, everyone, my name is Ana and I am a sweet-a-holic. 🙂 There, I’ve said. If you ask me, which is my favorite dessert? I wouldn’t be able to commit to just one specific dessert. I can either go with cookies, a piece of cakes, a bowl of ice cream or honestly, anything in between any of those. The one thing I can say for certain is that, I really dislike spending hours on end baking a dessert that will be gone in a matter of minutes, hours or if we are lucky days. For this reason, I am really loving all these new baking trends popping up. For an instant, take “speed scratch”, this process is all about achieving instant gratification and utilizing a product like Nestle refrigerated cookie dough and transforming it to make a beyond heavenly creation without all the work of making a recipe from scratch. This is why I this week, I decided to give this new concept a go and prepare our divine Dulce De Leche Cheesecake Cookie Bars, check it out below.
