Chocolate Chip Cookie

- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly mix flour mixture into creamed ingredients. Mix well.
- Hand stir in chocolate chips.
- Press half of chocolate chip cookie dough into pan, 1/2 inch thick.
Cheesecake Filling:
- Mix cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
- Smooth filling over chocolate chip cookie layer.
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Top:
- Pat out rounds of cookie dough, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay across top of cheesecake filling, leaving some gaps here and there. Most will puff closed.
- Bake until toothpick comes out mostly clean, 45 – 60 minutes.
- Let set 1-2 hours for best results.
- Throw remaining cookie dough in the freezer or make a tray of chocolate chip cookies. Makes approximately 1 dozen cookies.
