Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the wafer cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 8 minutes until it is slightly darker in color, then remove from the oven.
  5. In a large bowl or food processor, beat the cream cheese with the remaining 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cheese mixture and beat until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
  7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crust.
  8. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of the chocolate chip cookie dough and drop them evenly over the surface of the batter.
  9. Gently push each dollop of cookie dough down beneath the surface of the cheesecake batter.
  10. Bake the cheesecake at 350ðF (177ðC) for about 40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
  11. Remove from the oven and immediately spread the prepared topping over the hot cake if desired.
  12. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
