Preparation

Step 1

For the crust: combine cookie crumbs and sugar. Stir in margarine. Press onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a greased 9 inch springform pan. Set aside.

For the filling: in a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low just until combined. Add sour cream and vanilla; beat just until blended. Pour over crust; set aside.

For the dough: Cream butter and sugars on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add water and vanilla. Gradually add flour. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls over filling, gently pushing dough below surface (dough should completely be covered by filling). Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour or longer. Refrigerate overnight. Sprinkle with remaining chips.
