What You'll Need

  • 1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips (see Note)
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
     
  2. Press two-thirds of the cookie dough into the bottom of the baking dish.
     
  3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts and pour into prepared baking dish.
     
  4. Crumble remaining cookie dough and sprinkle evenly over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkly coconut over top.
     
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until crust is golden and the center is set. Allow to cool completely, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

Any type of white chocolate chips or bars can be used, including imported ones. If using bars, though, coarsely chop them to desired size. Remember - the better the quality of the chocolate, the better the taste of the bars.
