Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Ingredients

1 30oz package of chocolate chip cookie dough (or 2 batches of my chocolate chip cookie recipe)

2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 egg

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Cut cookie dough in half. Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan, forming a crust. Bake for 10 minutes.

3. While the "crust" is baking, beat the rest of the ingredients in a bowl until smooth.

4. When the crust is done baking, pour the cream cheese mixture over it. 

5. Using your hands, flatten pieces of the other half of the raw cookie dough and lay over the top of the cream cheese, making a top crust.

6. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden.

Slice, serve, and enjoy! This is definitely in my top 5 favorite desserts!
