ingredients

CRUST
1 ³⁄₄ cups crushed chocolate chip cookies
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
¹⁄₃ cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted
FILLING
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
COOKIE DOUGH
¹⁄₄ cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened
¹⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
¹⁄₄ cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¹⁄₂ cup flour
1 ¹⁄₂ cups mini chocolate chips, divided

directions

CRUST: In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and sugar; stir in the butter.
Press the mixture evenly and firmly onto the bottom and 1" up the sides of a greased 9" springform pan; set aside.
FILLING: Preheat oven to 350*F.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth; gradually add the sugar and blend until smooth and light.
Add the eggs, one at a time, blending with the mixer on low speed just until combined.
Add the sour cream and vanilla; blend well.
Pour the filling over the crust; set aside.
COOKIE DOUGH: In another bowl, using clean beaters, cream together the butter and both sugars on medium speed for 3 minutes.
Add the water and vanilla; blend well.
Gradually add the flour; stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
Drop the dough by tsp. over the filling, gently pushing the dough below the surface--the dough should be completely covered by the filling.
Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet; bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
Cool for 1 hour longer; cover and chill overnight.
Remove sides of pan; sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

Delish! I made it with lower fat cream cheese, lowfat sour cream, whole grain Chips Ahoy (for the cookies in the crust), and light butter. It did take longer than 55 minutes to bake though -- more like 70 minutes.
