Ingredients

  1. 1 (17.5 ounce) pouch double chocolate cookie mix (such as King Arthur Flour®)
  2. ½ cup butter
  3. 1 egg
  4. 4 drops red food coloring, or more as needed
  5. 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  6. 1 ½ cups white sugar
  7. ½ cup butter
  8. 3 eggs
  9. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  10. ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  11. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  12. 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Stir cookie mix, 1/2 cup butter, 1 egg, and food coloring together in a bowl until just combined. Spread cookie dough into the prepared pan to cover entire bottom surface.
  3. Beat cream cheese, sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and 3 eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Add flour, heavy cream, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour cheesecake layer over the cookie dough layer in the pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake layer is slightly golden and firm to the touch, 30 to 45 minutes. Let cool.
  5. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, about 90 seconds. Pour over the cooled cheesecake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. Cut into bars and store in the refrigerator.
  6. The directions for making the cookie crust are based on the particular brand of cookie mix mentioned. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand.
