Ingredients
Method
- Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Prepare the cookie dough by creaming butter and sugars. Mix in milk, vanilla, and salt, then stir in flour and chocolate chips. Roll into small balls and refrigerate.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar and mix until fluffy.
- Mix in sour cream. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in vanilla and salt.
- Pour half the cheesecake filling over the crust. Scatter half of the cookie dough pieces on top. Repeat with remaining filling and dough.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
For gluten-free options, use gluten-free graham crackers and almond flour in the cookie dough. Avoid overmixing once eggs are added to prevent cracks.
