Directions:Preheat oven to 325º F. Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper or foil allowing a little overhang and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix all the melted butter and graham crackers crumbs until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove pan to cooling rack. Leave oven on while you prepare the dough
While the crust is cooling, prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla on low speed until just incorporated. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Using your hand to form clumps, distribute the cookie dough onto the top of the cheesecake batter in teaspoon-sized clumps. Be sure to use all of the dough.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top feels dry and firm (the cookie dough) and the entire pan looks set if given a gentle shake. Move bars to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator overnight or for at least a couple of hours.
Lift the bars out by the overhang and cut into squares for serving |
