These are awesome!! I didn't have a package of cookie dough, so I made Chewy Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies which was the perfect amount. The only thing we did wrong was that we couldn't wait to cut them until the cheesecake part / melted chocolate chips had firmed. Next time I'll make them when no one else is around so they have a chance to firm before cutting. Thanks for posting this, I'll definitely be making again.

So far these are just OK for us, good don't get me wrong, but I was expecting more cheesecake. Next time I will double the cheesecake part and see if thats what i'm looking for. Quick and easy though

I make these multiple times a year for work potlucks and the girls devour them everytime! They even eat them the next day for breakfast if there are leftovers. :)
