Step 1

For the Cookies

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, shortening, sugars, and vanilla until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time while slowly beating. Mix together the baking soda, salt, and flour, and add a little bit at a time to the butter mixture until it is all incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and sprinkles by hand. Press half the batter into a greased 8 inch baking pan. Pour the cheesecake batter on top. Crumble the rest of the cookie batter over the cheesecake. Bake 35-40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate to set up. Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
