Ingredients

Scale

To create the perfect cookie dough, you need a few key ingredients to ensure the flavors are rich and balanced. Below are the essential components that make up this dessert:

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

    • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    • 2 tablespoons milk

    • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Cheesecake Base:

    • 2 pounds cream cheese, softened

    • 1 cup sour cream

    • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 4 large eggs

    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

    • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

    • Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

    • Gradually stir in the flour and salt, then add the milk. Continue to mix until a soft dough forms.

    • Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

    • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

2: Prepare the Cheesecake

    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

    • Add the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.

    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the flour.

    • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan.

    • Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and break it into small, bite-sized pieces.

    • Gently press the pieces of cookie dough into the cheesecake batter, spreading them evenly across the top.

    • Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is still slightly jiggly.

4: Cooling and Chilling

    • Once the cheesecake is done baking, let it cool to room temperature.

    • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to firm up.

By following these steps carefully, you’ll have a perfectly baked cookie dough cheesecake. The key is to ensure that the cheesecake doesn’t overcook, as this can lead to a dry texture. Allowing the cheesecake
