Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

- Bake crust in the preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Keep oven on.
- While crust is cooling, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add egg, peppermint extract, and green food coloring; beat well. Stir in milk until batter is smooth. Pour batter over the cooled crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture on top.
- Bake until filling is set, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into 25 bars.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 9X9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Remove the refrigerated cookie dough from the package and with your fingers press it evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. The dough will be puffed but not fully baked. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Make the cheesecake filling in the meantime. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Stir in the flour. Add the coffee creamer and mint extract, if using, and stir to combine. Add the green food color and stir to combine. With the back of the spoon press the half-baked puffed cookie dough to release the air in the crust. Pour the cheesecake filling over it. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the center is just set. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour and refrigerate for few hours before cutting into bars. Before serving, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cheesecake bars.
