However, using butter will give the cookie base a richer flavor and a slightly different texture, making it less flaky and more dense. Butter can also cause the base to spread a bit more during baking, so you might need to adjust the baking time slightly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do I know when the bars are done baking?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll know the chocolate chip cheesecake bars are done baking when the top is golden brown and the cheesecake layer is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. It will continue to firm up as it cools. You can also insert a toothpick into the center and it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can I use a different type of chocolate chip?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can use a different type of chocolate chip in the chocolate chip cheesecake bars. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or even <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">white chocolate chips<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be substituted depending on your preference. You can also use multiple types of chocolate chips for a unique twist.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These irresistible chocolate chip cheesecake Bars are the perfect blend of chewy chocolate chip cookie and creamy cheesecake.

Very easy.  I was lazy so I used a chocolate chip cookie mix, and I added a half package of white chocolate chips I had leftover from another holiday treat I'd made.  For the reviewer who used icing sugar, my only thought is that icing sugar also contains cornstarch, this I believe is what helps it to form icing as it sets.  Probably this is why your topping wasn't as sweet, you weren't using pure sugar.  I find that in a batter like this one, granulated sugar dissolves in the liquid as you mix it anyway so the texture is still very smooth.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-08-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"jinlorenza"},"reviewBody":"My kids loved these!
