CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH CHEESECAKE

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake image

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 cookie dough cheesecake loves it. -Julie Craig, Kewaskum, Wisconsin
