I created this recipe to combine two of my all-time favorites, cheesecake for the grown-up in me and chocolate chip cookie dough for the little girl in me. Sour cream offsets the sweetness and adds a nice tang. Everyone who tries this scrumptious treat loves it. --Julie Craig, Kewaskum, Wisconsin

Everyone loved this cheesecake. It was delicious and pretty to look at. My only problem with it was the cookie dough basically melted in the cheesecake. It didn't stay chunky like I was expecting.

Ok, i did something terribly wrong,, everyone seems to get it perfect n pretty but mine looks like gunk....It was all good until the baking stage and now?? In the oven it formed a hard cake/pie like cover over the top. I pulled it off, and the runny mixture was on the bottom, same as before the oven,,,,, i put it back in the oven for a while, but the mixture didnt harden at all or change, ,,,, so im not sure what to do with the oven bit,,, definatly not hard enough to get out of the pan..... LOST - help plz

Best ever. Made for the first time for a cookout last summer and have been making it ever since!

This turned out great. There was a lot of the mixture but it just fit into the pan. Everyone loved it, especially myself. I love anything with chocolate chips. I added more chocolate chip cookies for the crust because I did not have enough.

This is my go-to cheesecake recipe. It's the perfect cheesecake - not too sweet so I feel like I can have a decent-sized piece to eat without it being too rich or sugary. I use chocolate graham crackers for the crust. Everyone who has tried this recipe loves it and many have asked for the recipe to make for their families! It's one of our absolute favorite desserts!

A chocolate lover's dream. I donated one of these to my son's Cub Scout pack for a dessert auction and it sold for $75

I'll be honest...I'm a young college student and never baked anything besides premade cookie dough and decided I wanted to make cheesecake for Christmas and found this recipe. The cheesecake was phenomenal and the instructions were very easy to follow! The whole family LOVED this cheesecake! Definetly making this again!

This has quickly become an all time family favorite. A little time consuming to make, but worth the extra effort.

MMMMM! Maybe one of my biggest cooking successes ever! Everyone I served it to loved it, and a couple people asked for the recipe. It was not too time consuming, and everything went perfectly! One thing I did do differently; the top of it looked so bad that instead of just chocolate chips I melted together chocolate, shortening, and milk and poured it over top. It hardened very nicely and looked beautiful!

The cheesecake part of this is really good, and is now one of my go-to basic cheesecake recipes. I used oreos for the crust, as that's what we had on hand. However, the cookie dough isn't my favorite. To me it doesn't taste like real cookie dough, and is more of a distraction in the cheesecake than an enhancement. I made 2/3 of the recipe (2 packages cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar, ect.) and baked it in an 8-in. spring-pan, and that worked great. So basically, I think it's a great cheesecake base, but not so great cookie dough.

Amazing! Two of my husbands favorite in one dessert. I did not use all of the cookie dough I think I reserved about a 1/2-3/4 cup but we just made cookie dough shakes with it!

This is my new favorite recipe---definitely gives you that cookie dough feeling! I might add less butter to the crust mixture next time and will probably lower the temp. to 300 and cook a little longer (the edges/top browned more than I would have liked). After topping w/ the chocolate chips, I drizzled caramel and fudge topping over everything. It was a big hit!

I made 3 cheesecakes for a 4th of July party. This one was the first one gone. I'm a complete cookie dough lover and I was seriously upset that I didn't set a few slices aside for myself.

Made this for family Thanksgiving and everyone raved about it! It's very, very rich though so a small piece goes a long way. Easy to make and I'll definately make it again.

THE BEST CHEESECAKE I HAVE EVER MADE!!! just the right consistency between not to creamy not to dry. You can taste the chocolate but i wouldnt say that it tastes like cookie dough though. Still it was scruptious!

I first made this cheesecake when our 15 year old daughter went to her first formal. She asked us to make a special dinner for her and her friend before they left. This is what we had for dessert. It was a real hit! Now, on her 17th birthday, she is asking me to make it for her party again.
