Instructions

Edible Cookie Dough

Preheat the oven to 300℉. Place the flour on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes to heat treat the flour. Cool completely and add the salt to the flour.
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp Salt
Using a mixer with a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes. It will become pale and fluffy.
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup Light brown sugar, 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
Add in the vanilla and milk. Mix on medium until combined.
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 3 TBSP Milk
Add in the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Add in the mini chocolate chips and mix on low speed until just combined.
1 cup Mini chocolate chips
Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Line with wax paper. Roll the cookie dough into small balls about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch. They can be varying in size. This is tedious, but worth it!
Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to chill while you make the crust.

Graham Cracker Crust

Preheat the oven to 325℉. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with baking nonstick spray. Line the bottom with a parchment paper circle, and spray again.
Using a food processor, blend the graham crackers into a fine crumb. In a small bowl add the crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix using a fork.
2 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup Light brown sugar, 10 TBSP Unsalted butter
Pour the crumbs into the springform pan. Use your hands and press the crust halfway up the sides of the pan. Then, use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the bottom.
Bake for 10 minutes.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Start the water for the water bath. Using a mixer with a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl.
24 oz Cream cheese, 3/4 cup White granulated sugar
Add in the vanilla, sour cream, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on medium speed until combined.
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup Sour cream, 15 oz Pumpkin puree can, 2 tsp Ground cinnamon, 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
Add in the eggs and mix on low speed until just combined. Take off the mixer and use a rubber spatula to mix the batter to make sure it is all combined. Use 3/4ths of the frozen cookie dough balls and add to the batter. Fold them in.
4 Large eggs
Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the crust. Spread evenly. For the remainder of cookie dough balls, place in a tubberware in the fridge.
Water bath. Use one of these methods for a water bath. Both methods use a large roasting pan and hot steaming water.
1. Place the springform pan in a 10 inch cake pan. Place the cake pan in the roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the cake pan. This method prevent water getting into the crust.
2. Wrap the springform pan tightly twice in aluminum foil. Place the springform pan inside the roasting pan. Fill with hot water halfway up the springform pan. This method works great, but can sometimes leak water into the crust.
Bake for 65-75 minutes until the edges are set and the middle has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven, crack open the oven door, and let it slowly cool for 30 minutes. Then, transfer the springform pan (keep the pan on) to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
Cover with foil and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Whipped Cream

Using a mixer, metal bowl, and whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on high speed until stiff peaks form.
1 1/2 cups Heavy cream, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
Take the cheesecake out of the pan and remove the parchment paper. Top the cheesecake with whipped cream and cookie dough balls.
