Cookie Layer Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips
Cheesecake Layer Ingredients:
4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream for serving
Cookie Layer Instructions:
Cream together the butter and sugars in a stand mixer for 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated. Toss in a handful of the chocolate chips and mix for a quick second.
Cheesecake Layer Instructions:
Whip together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla for 3 minutes until everything is evenly combined and smooth.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease your Le Creuset Heart-Shaped Skillet (or a 6-8" round skillet). Press about 1/2 of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of the pan to make 1 even layer. Spread the cheesecake mixture on top of the cookie dough.
Crumble and sprinkle another 1/2 of the cookie dough on top of the cheesecake mixture and then sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. There might be a little leftover cookie dough, feel free to make it into cookies. Place the Le Creuset heart shaped skillet into the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until the cookie dough is golden brown. The inner part of the dish might look a bit jiggly, but not to fear. Scoop a few spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream on top and eat with a spoon straight outta the skillet for date night.
