Lucky Ducky St. Patty’S Day Cheesecake Bars

• 1 package Refrigerated Pillsbury Ready To Bake! Big Deluxe Chocolate Chip Cookies With Hershey's Mini Kisses, 16 Ounce Package
• 2 packages (8 Oz Each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Softened
• 1/2 cups Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• Green Food Coloring

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a 9" x 9" baking pan with parchment paper.
2. 2. Remove the refrigerated cookie dough from the package and with your fingers press it evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. 3. Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes. The dough will be slightly puffed up but not fully cooked. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
4. 4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
5. 5. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and add the green food color until you reach your desired color and it's well combined.
6. 6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cookie dough, smooth the top and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the center is just set. Remove from oven.
7. 7. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour and refrigerate for 4 hours before cutting into bars.
