The Best Cookie Dough Cheesecake Recipe

To be totally honest, before this recipe we had never baked a cheesecake before. We know, we know…”say whaaat!”. We shocked ourselves too when we came to that realization but luckily for us & for you it’s easy as pie (well actually pie is harder but ya know…).

Baked Cookie Cheesecake Recipe

We wanted to incorporate cookie dough into as much of this recipe as possible so we included it within the cheesecake itself & as the base of the cheesecake simply by combining some cooked chocolate chip cookies (feel free to use store bought) with a bit of butter. We also threw in some chocolate chips because why not, & for toppings we used frosting & chocolate syrup. Other fun topping ideas would be cookies themselves, a cookie dough frosting, cookie dough chunks (make sure there is no raw egg in the recipe), & extra chocolate chips.
