Ingredients
Scale
- 16–20 ounces ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough
- two 8-ounce blocks full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream or heavy cream, at room temperature
- Optional toppings: caramel sauce, chocolate fudge, fresh berries, whipped cream, flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
- Unwrap your cookie dough and press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the skillet, creating about a 1-inch high rim.
- Par-bake the cookie crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and just set.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese and mix until well combined and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is combined. Gently mix in the sour cream or heavy cream until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the par-baked cookie crust and gently tap the skillet to release air bubbles.
- Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (160°C) for 35-45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center has a slight wobble.
- Turn off the oven and leave the skillet inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour to cool slowly.
- Once cooled to room temperature, cover the skillet loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve slices directly from the skillet or carefully cut and remove portions, optionally warming slightly before serving.
