Keep the sweetness going this week with our staff recipe for Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Squares. Tested on many significant others, we confirmed these are edibly equivalent to a love potion.

Ingredients:

• 1  small package (16.5 ounce) and one large package (30 ounce) Pillsbury cookie dough
• 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, room temperature
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Line a 9x13 pan with tin foil to make your life much easier.
3. Press cookie dough onto the bottom of the pan, creating a thin layer.
4. Beat together room temperature cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
5. Spread mixture onto first layer of raw cookie dough.
6. Create second layer of cookie dough by making thin cookie dough ‘pancakes’ in between your palms, and placing on top of the mixture layer. Alternatively, press small amounts of cookie dough on a cutting board and use a knife to cut under it to create the ‘pancake.’ Don’t sweat it if you have tiny cracks of cream cheese mix.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The cookie dough will seem soft when you take it out, but it will set.
8. Once cooled, freeze overnight.
9. Cut into squares and enjoy!
