Why we love Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Cheesecake Recipe

Our Cookie Dough Cheesecake was made for Miss Sidgie–she eats gluten free so I used gluten free chocolate chip cookies (from Trader Joes, but of course). It’s simple to grab a “non gluten free” kind of chocolate chip cookie if you prefer.

This recipe can easily be adapted to work both ways. YAY!!
