Do you love chocolate chip cookie dough right out of the bowl? Or perhaps a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream? If you answered yes, then prepare yourself for the the ultimate treat, cheesecake infused with homemade chocolate chip cookie dough! With a little help from Very Best Baking and Taste of Home I have created my own recipe that I hope you try and enjoy.

If you wanted to have a little fun with this recipe, double the cookie dough recipe above and press the cookie dough into cupcake tins. Fill 2/3 of the way with the cheesecake filling and add just a couple of small dollops of the cookie dough into the center. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Seriously it might just be the best thing you’ve ever tasted!
