📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat and Prep
2
Preheat oven to 325F with rack on lower middle position. Line 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper, with enough hanging over handles to make a sling for easy removal. Grease the parchment paper with oil. Set aside.
3
Make Crust: Mix melted butter and cracker crumbs together until resembles wet sand. Press mixture firmly and evenly into bottom of pan. Bake for ⏱️ 7-8 minutes. Remove pan to cooling rack, but keep the oven on.
4
Make Cheesecake Filling: In bowl in stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy and smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla on low until incorporated, taking care not to overmix. Pour cheesecake batter into prepared crust. Set aside.

Slowly mix in the flour on low speed just until combined, taking care not to over mix. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop clumps of slightly-flattened dough evenly on top of cheesecake batter. Continue until all cookie dough is evenly distributed across top of cheesecake.

Bake ⏱️ 30-40 minutes, until top of dough feels mostly dry and entire pan looks mostly set if given a gentle shake. It will continue to set up as it chills. Move bars to cooking rack to cool completely.
