One of my favorite desserts that we rarely eat is cheesecake, especially if that cheesecake is chocolate. Generally, we limit how often we eat cheesecake because the excessive amounts of cream cheese gets expensive, but today I have a recipe that is a little better on your budget than normal cheesecake.
I love this recipe because it is cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie combined, yum! Also, it is slightly cheaper than normal cheesecake because it has less cream cheese and no other expensive ingredients. Here is the list of ingredients you will need.
For the cookie part
For the cookie part
- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup melted margarine or butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 12 ounces chocolate chip morsels (your choice on flavor ie. semi-sweet, milk, etc.)
For the cheesecake
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
If you don't want to make your cookie dough, the recipe also states that you can buy 2 rolls of refrigerated cookie dough and use. The first step to making this recipe, as is common, is to pre-heat your oven to 350º F. Now, you will need to make the cookie dough first, so start like this:
Make sure you only spread half of the dough in the bottom of the pan; it is going to be a thin layer but you need the rest for the top. Argos was our little helper again as we made this recipe, but he was not amused by my photo shoot of him.
Now you will need to make the cheesecake part of the recipe.
That's all there is to it! Let the cheesecake cool, and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it, and feel free to leave a comment below or on Facebook.
Just a tip: this recipe is always better if you make it the day before eating it!
