How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

If you love mint, chocolate and cheesecake (not necessarily in that order) you are going to love these cookie bars.

They are quite easy to make, look fancy and make the perfect dessert to serve up for any occasion. Although, I will suggest, these would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day since they are so green!

  4. Line a 9 X 13 inch dish with Parchment paper, and press the dough evenly into the bottom of the dish.
