Chocolate Chip Cheese Bars

(This recipe is from the Quick Cooking 2002 cookbook.)

Cream cheese and chocolate chip cookie dough ... what better combination?!

1 tube (18 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough*
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 egg

Cut cookie dough in half. For crust, press half of the dough onto the bottom of a greased 8" square baking pan. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg til smooth. Spread over crust. Crumble remaining dough over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 min or til toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes 12-16 servings.

*2 c of any chocolate chip cookie dough recipe may be used instead.
