Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars
Do they have CA (Cheesecake Anonymous)? If so, I might need to consider going. I’ve become obsessed with cheesecakes. This time I made Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars. I took my current favorite – Cheesecake and combined it with my one of my all time favorite cookies – Snickerdoodles.
What I did was use the snickerdoodle cookies for my crust. Why use the same ole same ole? Ok, graham cracker crust is pretty good and I’ll probably use it again. But, I will use this one again for sure! Imagine having the cream cheese filling on top of a snickerdoodle cookie. Are you drooling right now?
The filling is your basic cheesecake filling with an added bonus…….Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil. Did you know that cinnamon bark oil is thought to promote healthy cardiovascular and immune function, and acts as an antiseptic? Why not get healthy while eating cheesecake. Am I right?
For the top, I just sprinkled some cinnamon/sugar mix to make it look more like the snickerdoodles. You’re welcome!

Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars
Equipment
- Stand Mixer/Hand Mixer
- Square Cake Pans
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup Snickerdoodle Cookies, crushed
- 1/4 Cup Butter, melted
- 2 Pkg (8 oz) Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Drop Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 8″ or 9″ baking pan with foil. **Using the foil makes it easier to lift the cheesecake out later.

- Press the mixture firmly in the bottom of the baking pan. Set aside.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until well blended.
- Add eggs and essential oil. Beat until just blended. *Be careful adding your oil. This is some potent stuff and can overpower if you use too much.
- Pour cream cheese mix over crust in baking pan.
- Bake @ 350° for 40 minutes or until center is “almost” set.
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top. Let cool 15 minutes before placing in refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
- Remove from fridge when ready. Pull the cheesecake out using the foil. Place on counter and slice.
