Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the ingredients together until smooth.

Step 2

Once the butter and sugar are thoroughly creamed together, whisk in the flour until fully incorporated. (If you would like to heat treat the flour - see notes for directions)

Step 3

Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Press the cookie dough into a 10-inch springform to form a crust. Set the springform pan aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whip together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Pour the cheesecake filling into the springform pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Place the cheesecake in the fridge for 3 hours to set.

Step 6

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
