Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake:
I don’t start from scratch with every step of this dessert. If you have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe you want to bake & use for this recipe – go for it! I took the easy route and used a Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix for the base, Chips Ahoy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies in the cheesecake and on top plus a jar of Betty Crocker Chocolate Frosting. You could make your own cookies and frosting but who has the time for all that, right?
- Crust:
- Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix plus the ingredients it calls for on the package (eggs, oil and water)
- Cheesecake:
- 3 packages (250 g each) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 package (13 oz) Nabisco Chips Ahoy! Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, coarsely chopped
- 1 package (16 oz) Betty Crocker Chocolate Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Crust:
- Make cookie mix as directed on the package using the oil, water and egg.
- Spread dough evenly in ungreased 9" round springform pan.
- Bake 20 minutes just until dough is set.
- Cheesecake:
- Reduce oven temperature to 325F.
- Combine cream cheese and sugar in large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and occasionally scraping side of bowl.

- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chip cookie pieces. Reserve the rest of the chocolate chip cookie pieces for decorating the top of the cake after adding the frosting.
- Pour batter over crust; smooth top.
- Bake until top is golden and center is set (no longer jiggling), about 60-70 minutes. Let cool on wire rack.

- Run knife around inside of pan before removing cheesecake.
