• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Store-bought cookie dough (enough to cover the filling)
• Mini chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Crust:

   • In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and sugar.
   • Stir in melted butter until well combined.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
   • Set aside while preparing the filling.

2. Make Cheesecake Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
   • Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.

3. Add Cookie Dough:

   • Cut the store-bought cookie dough into teaspoon-sized cubes.
   • Drop the cookie dough cubes over the cheesecake filling, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
   • Gently press the cookie dough below the surface of the filling, making sure it’s completely covered.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
   • Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

5. Cool and Refrigerate:

   • After cooling for 10 minutes, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
