Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
• Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in flour and vanilla extract.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
• Let the cheesecake bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
