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I originally made this for my teenage brother.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!

As I type this, my cream cheese is almost at room temp, and the cookie is baking in the oven, in the springform. Slight modification on my part, though — i’m using a wonderful key lime cookie dough i found, which i added white chocolate chips to. I will put the cheesecake on top of that, and top it with a white chocolate ganache. Can’t wait to see how this comes out!!!! thanks for the recipe!
Hi Katie! Another blogger adapted my mini cheesecakes to a full size pan- here are his results 🙂 https://cookinwluv.blogspot.com/2012/01/tuesday-tutor-featuring-in-katrinas.html
Wow! I’m so excited to make this. I don’t have mini-springform pans. Would this whole recipe even fit into one regular size springform pan??
Thanks for sharing! This sounds divine, I am for sure going to give this one a go!

Wow! Cheesecake and fuit, cheesecake and candy, cheesecake and cookies…it all works for me! Looks delicious! Thanks!!
Hi Corina! I made these in mini springform pans – there were 6. YOu could of course adapt the recipe to make one large cheesecake. I hope that answers your question. 🙂
hi what do you mean by separating the choc chip crust dough into 6 portions???? So you don’t actually just push it into the spring pan?
Ciao ^_^ lieta di conoscerti, questa cheesecake è una visione paradisiaca, bravissima!
Ti seguirò con grande piacere, sei già nella mia blogroll ;D

MMM!!! My daughter would be all over these… and she could whip them up herself!!! Well done!! I’m afraid I’d have to purchase double the chocolate chips though as she seems to have a habit of eating them while baking then we run out!!
This looks amazing! I’ve never tried a no-bake cheesecake, maybe its time I do. Love the choc chip cookie crust and that last pic with the chocolate drizzle… YUM! 🙂

Stopping by from Singing With Birds. Looks great, I’ve copied the recipe! Have you made a bigger cake with this recipe? I have an 8″ pan and I’m wondering if it would work in that, or if the recipe needs to be doubled? Thanks:@)
