Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake
Did you know that yesterday was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day? I need to get myself a calendar and start marking these things down for next year. It just so happens that I had made these little cheesecakes a while ago and never did a post about them because my husband didn’t love them (more about that later). However I thought these would be perfect to share with you this Monday morning.
The recipes are simple and the method is easy. I used the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe off of the back of the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chips bag. I divided the dough into 6 equal portions and baked the cookies in well-greased mini (6 inch) springform pans for about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely. When cooled prepare the no bake cheesecake. I have been using this cheesecake recipe for years so I’m not really sure where it came from. It’s pretty classic, nothing out of the ordinary. Pour your cheesecake over the cooled cookies and refrigerate 5 hours (or overnight). Just before serving sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. As I said, my husband didn’t quite rave over this recipe so I hesitated sharing it with you. But it really is delicious. He’s just more of a fruit guy when it comes to cheesecake.
Sometimes you have to agree to disagree, right?
I originally made this for my teenage brother. He was a supporter of the recipe from first glance all the way through to the last bite! Enjoy! And happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day to you!

Holy crap! Amazing! I love this so much!! This may have to be the first thing I make when I get off my damn diet!
My goodness! May I please have your husband’s portion since he doesn’t like it?!? 🙂
What a great cheesecake… can’t believe the recipe came off the back of a packet. I think the baker had something to do with the results here 🙂
This cheesecake looks divine! I love the cookie crust.
Wow this looks incredible! How anyone could not love this is beyond me! So glad you did post it!xx,Tammy
I love celebrating food days, especially when it involves chocolate chip cookies. I am with you though, it is so hard to be update on them. This recipe looks amazing. I cannot believe it was an old post. I would have been itching to post this this second it was done. I want to eat it up.
I love the picture of the inside shot of the cheesecake. You can see all of its deliciousness! The chocolate chip crust looks yummy.
I am a little late with National Chocolate Chip Cookie day – I am making mine today. Hopefully the holiday will forgive me! This looks wonderful! I love that they are little, and that they have a cookie crust!! Good work, yet again!
Silly husbands! I’ve never seen this combo before, but it looks so good!
How could the hubby not love this mile high cheesecake? 😉 Looks wonderful and I love the mini size. I must shop for this smaller springform pan.
Oh man!! That is a serious cheesecake right there! I love how think the crust is and that super yummy layer of chocolate chips on top…looks absolutely heavenly!
That looks very, very appetizing! I am not a huge chocolate fan, but my husband would LOVE a slice (or two) of that… 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness, this cheesecake is sinful – in a good way. I’ll have a slice with your malted milkshake, after I eat the stromboli! Thank god you don’t live in my neighborhood – I’d be rolling myself over every day 😛
this looks so lovely and very sinful!:) thank you for sharing this post with us and have a great day.
*knock knock* Did somebody call for more of me in their life? Well, baby…you make this cheese cake and i will be beating down your door, for sure. Are you freaking kidding me. I will make this and I will get fat and I will love it. I need it in my belly….now. 😉 Fabulous post. Wonderful recipe. Fantastic job, as per usual, chica.
Katrina, Katrina, Katrina.. Girl, this LOOKS SIMPLY AMAZING! OMG, I’d give anything for a big ol piece right now! : )
I’m guessing your hubby doesn’t like eating raw cookie dough either, or licking frosting shots out of a little cup. Oh well, at least you get to eat more of your choc chip cookie cheesecake all to yourself.
Katrina this looks amazing! I love the idea of a cookie crust. How creative!
I think this looks divine! The best of all worlds! And easy? I’m in!
I certainly wouldn’t complain about a cookie cheesecake!
I’d be a supporter of this too, especially with that extra drizzle of chocolate!
I can’t believe how awesome this looks and then you come to the ingredient list and there are only four items, awesome! My husband loves cheesecake and he will be enjoying this very soon!
Oh My. I’ve died and gone to heaven looking at these pictures. I need this now!
They look so cute! Love the idea even if your hubs didn’t rave about it 🙂
I’d have to disagree with your husband. Anything that has so much chocolate on it is just deemed to be good! And if you think that it’s a cheesecake to start with, then you just can’t go wrong! Beautiful as always! 🙂
Oh my dear goodness, you could not have possibly caused me to salivate any more than you just did. Beautiful! Delicious! Great photos! Nicely done!
OMG, this looks INCREDIBLE !! I love the height of the cake – so much sweet goodness 🙂
umm…why didn’t your hubs like this?? cheesecake AND chocolate chip cookies…seems like the ultimate combination!

What are you doing to me Katrina???
This is wow, just wow…I am really speechless by how it looks! My kind of cake..my B-day is next Feb. can you ship:)))Thank you for sharing…

I think I would love these…cookies AND cheesecake? Great combo, Katrina!!
wow….that looks INCREDIBLE….especially with the chocolate sauce! Oh my!
I love your pictures , they look so good and whenever I see cheesecake I am already hooked , good one katrina 🙂
I wish I would have known about the chocolate chip ce;ebration, but I’d make this anyhow!! Two faves together!
Okay, why, why, why didn’t your husband love these? I can tell from a single glance that I would love these. And I need a calendar with all of these national food days too, I am woefully unaware of them.
This looks amazing!
Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Chocolate Chip cookies are my absolute top favorite dessert and I’m glad to see they have their own day 🙂 Enjoy your relax time later!!
Oh man…This looks dangerous!!! :o)

Great recipe for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, which I didn’t even know about. I like the mini size so cute!
This is a perfect recipe for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. I am glad you posted it. My husband and I agree to disagree often!
Cookie and cheesecake is one of my favorite combinations! Your individual cheesecakes look fantastic and I love photo with the chocolate dripping down the sides!
