This Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Sandwich are mini vanilla ice cream flavored cheesecakes sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies.
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Sandwich probably should have never been invented.
I feel that way about a few things I make…Salted Pretzel Sticky Buns are a good example as well.
Why do I post something I say shouldn’t have been invented?
They should not have been invented because they are addictive.
And portable.
Portable and addictive are a bad combo. 🙂
All joking aside, these turned out fantastic.
Like, so fantastic.
I took one bite and thought where have these been all my life.
The second thought was uh oh. 😛
These are basically a Chipwich but in cheesecake form.
While you do have to turn on the oven to bake them, because they are mini, it only takes 25 minutes.
Which is nice in the warmer months when you don’t want your oven on long enough.
And you don’t have to bake these in a water bath.
You do however need a special pan for this.
If you don’t want to buy the pan you can always bake a full cheesecake and cut out the cheesecake rounds.
I discourage you from trying to bake them in a regular muffin tin.
As they do not get the height and they are not the same size on the top as they are the bottom.
The chocolate chip cookie was quite a quest.
I didn’t know what type I wanted.
I just went with store bought because I didn’t want to turn the oven on.
I’m trying to make these as warm weather friendly as I can. 🙂
For a bit I felt like Goldilocks trying to find the best fit.
Originally I bought Chips Ahoy.
Which, when did those become so small.
My husband asked me if they were minis.
They were not.
The ones that came from the store bakery were too big. They chewy ones were too soft.
Others were too thick.
Then I found Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Thin and Crispy Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Not only were those the right size but they were the right thickness.
In my opinion they work the best for these.
The cheesecake itself is basically a vanilla cheesecake kicked up a bit.
With some powdered vanilla and some crushed up freeze dried vanilla ice cream.
You don’t have to use the freeze dried vanilla ice cream but you won’t get as much ice cream flavor to you cheesecakes.
You may love me or hate me for inventing these.
My guess will be a combo of both. 😀
And oh yeah, it’s a great day to buy my cookbook.

- Take another cookie and coat a thin layer of milk chocolate on the bottom side of the cookie and place it on top of the cheesecake. So that it creates the sandwich.
