Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this into the creamed mixture.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Cheesecake Layer

  2. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie dough layer.
  3. Drop the remaining cookie dough by spoonfuls over the cheesecake layer.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool, then cut into bars and serve.

Notes

For best results, let the bars cool completely before cutting; it helps the layers hold together beautifully. Store in the fridge for up to 5-7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
