Recipe By:Star Pooley

“If you love chocolate chip cookie dough straight out of the batter bowl or in ice cream, you’ll love this next recipe! A small piece goes a long way! It’s well worth the work!”

Ingredients

• Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Cake:
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into chunks
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Cookie Dough:
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Topping:
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix the chocolate wafer cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons white sugar, and melted butter together in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom and 1/2-inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake crust in the preheated oven until set, about 8 minutes.
4. Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Add 1 cup sour cream, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until batter is smooth. Pour batter over crust into springform pan.
5. Beat 1/4 cup butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup white sugar together in a bowl. Stir water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into brown sugar mixture. Add chocolate chips and flour; stir until cookie dough is well-combined. Drop cookie dough in 2 tablespoon portions evenly over the top of the cheesecake, pushing dough beneath the surface of the batter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is almost completely set and jiggles slightly in center when shaken, about 40 minutes.
7. Stir 1 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons white sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Spread sour cream mixture over hot cheesecake. Cool cake to room temperature and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.

Lemon Cheesecake Bars

yield: 24 LARGE BARS

prep time: 4 HOURS, 30 MINUTES

cook time: 30 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CRUST:

• 2 cup Nilla Wafers, crumbs (about 60 cookies)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

FOR THE CHEESECAKE FILLING:

• 2 packages (8oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• 1 lemon, zested

FOR THE COOKIE LAYER:

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 large egg
• 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 lemon, zested
• 11oz white chocolate morsels (I use Ghirardelli)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a food processor, pulse Nilla Wafer cookies with sugar until fine crumbs. Add in melted butter and pulse until combined.
3. Press crumbs into the bottom of prepared baking dish. Using the palm of your hand, press crumbs firmly until they are pressed into the bottom of the dish.
4. For the filling, beat cream cheese with sugar, eggs, lemon extract and lemon zest using the whisk attachment of your electric mixer. Beat until fluffy and smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Pour over cookie crust.
5. For the cookie dough, beat butter and sugar for 2 minutes. Add egg, vanilla and lemon zest and beat until combined. Add in baking powder, salt and flour, beating until fully blended. Fold in white chocolate morsels. Scoop dough by large spoonfuls onto the top of the cheesecake layer. Use your fingertips to spread gently until covered.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned. The center will still be jiggly, that’s okay. Allow to cool completely. Refrigerate for 4 hours (or overnight). Slice and serve COLD. Enjoy!

Caramel Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

yield: 5-6 DOZEN

prep time: 10 MINUTES

cook time: 12 MINUTES

My favorite recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies. I added in some caramel bits and chopped pecans for a decadent, chewy delight!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk
• 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 bag (11.5oz) milk chocolate morsels
• 1 1/4 cup caramel bits (or whole caramels, chopped)
• 1 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and milk and beat an additional 2 minutes.
2. Add flour, baking powder and salt and beat another 2 minutes. Fold in chocolate morsels, caramel bits and pecans.
3. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, drop cookie dough using a 2 Tbsp scoop. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12-14 minutes.
4. Allow to cool on wire rack. Store in a airtight container for up to one week.

• To freeze cookie dough, scoop dough onto a parchment paper lined, freezer safe, cookie sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes. Remove dough and place in a freezer bag, labeled. When ready to bake, remove desired amount of dough and bake as directed. Add several minutes for frozen dough.
• I use a pizza stone to bake my cookies, I find they spread less and don’t brown on the bottom as fast. If you are having trouble with your cookies spreading, refrigerate the dough until chilled, this will help! ENJOY!
