Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 32 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Prepare the cookie dough by creaming butter and sugars. Mix in milk, vanilla, and salt, then stir in flour and chocolate chips. Roll into small balls and refrigerate.
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar and mix until fluffy.
  5. Mix in sour cream. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  6. Pour half the cheesecake filling over the crust. Scatter half of the cookie dough pieces on top. Repeat with remaining filling and dough.
  7. Bake for 55–60 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
  • Allow cheesecake to chill completely for improved flavor.
