These slutty cheesecake bars are a layer of chocolate chip cookie crust, oreo cookies, cheesecake and then topped with some more oreos and salted caramel sauce. They're so simple to make, but so indulgent and delicious.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 F, grease an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray. I also like to line with parchment paper so they're easy to pull out for serving.
Cookie Dough Base:
Place melted butter and sugars into a medium bowl. Mix until combined. Add egg yolk and vanilla and mix again.
Add baking soda, salt and flour and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Press the cookie dough evenly onto the bottom of the baking pan. This will be a very thin layer so that the cookie dough can bake up properly.
Break the 18 oreos into large pieces and place on top of the cookie dough covering as much as possible.
Cheesecake Layer:
Place cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them together on medium/low. You can use a stand or hand mixer. Add sour cream and beat in. Make sure it is completely smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing by hand so that they do not get over mixed. Add vanilla and salt and mix again.
Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the oreo cookies. Spread until you have an even layer. Top with more broken oreo chunks.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until there is a slight jiggle in the center of the cheesecake. When done baking, turn off the oven, open the oven door and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on the counter to get to room temperature.
When completely cooled, cover the cheesecake and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set up.
When ready to serve, drizzle cheesecake with salted caramel sauce and cut into squares for serving.
Notes
You can buy premade cookie dough if you do not want to make your own. If doing so use 10 oz of dough for the bottom layer.Feel free to use any flavor of oreos if preferred.These can be made Gluten Free by using gluten free oreos and gluten free flour for the cookie dough base.Make sure all ingredients are room temperature before mixing your cheesecake or it will not become smooth.
