Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177ðC).
  2. Lightly spray the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Take one roll of refrigerated cookie dough (chocolate chip or oatmeal chocolate chip) and let it soften slightly until pliable.
  4. Press the softened cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, spreading it to all sides to create a base layer.
  5. In a food processor, combine the silken tofu, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  6. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the tofu filling over the cookie dough base in the pan, spreading it out evenly to cover the dough.
  8. Take the second roll of cookie dough and drop it by teaspoonfuls over the top of the filling.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  10. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
