Instructions
-
Heat oven to 350 °F. Press cookie dough evenly in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan. (If dough is sticky, use floured fingers.)

In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each, just until blended. (Don’t overbeat.) Spread cream cheese filling in pan over dough.
-
Place jam in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off small corner of bag. Squeeze jam on cream cheese mixture in 5 thick lines the length of the pan.
-
Use knife to pull all jam lines from top to bottom through cream cheese mixture at 1-inch intervals.
-
Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is set in center. Remove from oven to cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours. To serve, cut into 6 rows by 3 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
Why this Strawberry-Cheesecake Cookie Bars works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Strawberry-Cheesecake Cookie Bars works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
