Raspberry Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Squares are the thicker, more elegant version of your everyday sugar cookie. The soft sugar cookie square has a thick and chewy base, and when it’s topped with this whipped White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake frosting? It’s incredible!
I just can’t get enough of the sugar cookie squares! Yesterday I was making the original Sugar Cookie Squares with Vanilla Frosting and was thinking of what other combinations would be good with these squares. The best that came to mind were these Sugar Cookie Squares frosted with decadent White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Frosting.

They melt in your mouth while the combinations of sweet yet tangy cream cheese with natural berry goodness tantalize your taste buds. White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts so I thought this would be a great combination of cookie and cheesecake.
Let me tell you it most definitely is! The great thing about these is that you get the cheesecake flavors without waiting 9 hours for a cheesecake to bake and then set in the refrigerator. The cookie portion of this recipe is so incredibly simple, that is one other reason it’s one of my favorites to do variations on. I hope you enjoy this version as much as I do!

Also, this frosting would be incredible on a vanilla, chocolate, or angel food cake, just keep in mind it has a slightly runnier consistency than your average buttercream frosting so it is not ideal for piping. Spreading this frosting onto warm bars will make it melty and smothered—perfect for eating with a fork like a cake. Cooled frosting spread onto room temperature or chilled bars will make it a more handheld treat with less dripping.
You can add a few raspberries as a garnish, some sprinkles, or white chocolate shavings. So pretty!
