For the Cookie Dough Layer:
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sour cream
For Topping (optional):
- ¼ cup chocolate chips melted

Instructions
- Make the brownie layer: Prepare brownie batter according to package instructions. Pour into the springform pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until just set but not fully cooked. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the cookie dough layer: In a medium bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla extract, then mix in heat-treated flour and salt. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Press the cookie dough evenly over the partially baked brownie layer.
- Make the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and sour cream. Mix until just combined. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie dough layer and smooth the top.
- Bake the assembled cheesecake at 325°F for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle melted chocolate over the top and garnish with whipped cream and cookie dough bites if desired.
Notes
- To heat-treat flour for the cookie dough, microwave it for 1 minute or bake at 350°F for 5 minutes to ensure it’s safe to eat raw.
- This decadent dessert is perfect for celebrations or holidays and can be made a day in advance.
