Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 180 C°. Line a 9X13-inch pan with grease proof paper, or lightly oil the tray. 2. For the cookie layer: whisk the melted butter and sugars in a large bowl until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda, folding into the dough with a rubber spatula; do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips until combined. 3. Press half of the dough onto the bottom of the prepared pan. It will be a thin layer, and you may have to fill in any holes with a bit of cookie dough from the bowl. 4. For the cheesecake filling: mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, or for1-2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined. 5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the layer of cookie dough in the pan. 6. Mmm… yummy Using the remaining cookie dough, flatten tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie dough in your hands into flat disc shapes, about 1/4-inch thick. Place these discs over the top of the cheesecake layer. It's ok if there are small spaces. The entire top doesn't need to be completely covered; just make sure it is mostly covered with cookie dough. 7. Let’s be real; raw cookie dough is usually better than the actual cookie Best served with ice cream on a sunny day a skewer into the middle, and check it’s clean when removed. 8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until very lightly browned on the edges. Push Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate until chilled, around 1-2 hours. Cut into squares and serve.
