Ingredients
  • 6 Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chunk Cookies
    • 1 teaspoon salt
      • 4 tablespoons melted butter
        • 1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
          • 1 cup sugar
            • 1 large egg
              • 1 cup Greek yogurt
                • 1 teaspoon vanilla
                  • 1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
                  Preparation
                  1. Grease a quarter sheet pan.
                  2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
                  3. Crumble chocolate chip cookies into a food processor and process until ground into a fine crumb. Some of the chocolate chips will not grind down, that's okay.
                  4. In a bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, melted butter and salt.
                  5. Press cookie mixture evenly into the sheet pan.
                  6. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are golden.
                  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
                  8. Using a hand blender or mixer, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
                  9. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in egg. Mix until fully incorporated.
                  10. Mix in Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Beat until mixture is smooth and combined.
                  11. Pour cheesecake mixture over crust. Sprinkle with mini semi sweet chocolate chips.
                  12. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are set.
                  13. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
                  14. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
