Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

Wow. 5 words but indescribily good. I made this last night for a friend that came over for supper. This was the first time I made "real" cheesecake, & not the cheater way with cream cheese & Cool Whip!

Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 TBSP melted butter
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325F. Butter a 9" baking dish, then line with foil or parchment paper. Light butter foil/parchment. Combine crumbs & butter until moistened. Stir in chocolate chips. Press into dish & bake for 6 minutes.


Cookie Dough
5 TBSP butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 TBSP sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix together butter, sugars, salt & vanilla. Add flour, then stir in the chocolate chips. Set aside.


Cheesecake
1 package cream cheese (250g or whatever the foil packs are lol)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Beat cream cheese & suagr until smooth. Add egg & vanilla. Pour onto baked crust. Drop cookie dough on top. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until set. Melt chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag, snip a tiny hole in the corner & drizzle over the top. Let set 1 hour (or place in freezer for 10 minutes), then cut, cleaning the knife after each cut.

I didn't add the drizzle, I ran out of time, but wow. It is still SOOOO good without it!! So yummy!!!
