Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Layer

  • 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream or heavy cream

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (130 g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing well. Gradually mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Set aside or refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake batter.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream or heavy cream until the batter is velvety and well combined.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into a prepared springform pan. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough evenly over the cheesecake layer. Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cookie dough and cheesecake layers, creating a marbled effect.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken. Cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set fully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and firm, slice and serve the cheesecake. Garnish with drizzles of chocolate or caramel sauce, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts if desired. Enjoy the perfect combination of creamy cheesecake and chewy cookie dough with every bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and lump-free batter.
  • Mix cheesecake batter just until combined to avoid cracks during baking.
  • Chill the cookie dough to help it retain shape during baking and prevent melting.
  • Use a water bath when baking to keep the cheesecake moist and crack-free, if possible.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor melding.
