Preparation

Step 1

1
In a large bowl mix all ingredients for chocolate chip cookies in the order listed above. Divide into two parts and set aside.
2
In a second bowl, mix all cream cheese filling ingredients until smooth.
3
Spread one part of cookie dough on the bottom of greased 13 X 9 pan. (Mine measures 13 3/4 by 9 1/2). It will help if your hands are wet, otherwise, the dough will stick to your fingers.
4
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cookie dough.

Top the filling with remaining dough by creating dabs of dough (or little pancakes of dough). Once again it will help if your fingers are wet.
5
Bake at 350 F for about 50 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. My oven takes an hour.
6
Cool and divide into bite-size pieces (about 40 or so).

Enjoy it as much as we do!
