# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup butter that's been softened.
02 - 1¾ cups heat-treated plain flour.
03 - ¾ cup brown sugar, packed.
04 - ½ cup white sugar.
05 - 2 tablespoons chilled heavy cream.
06 - 1½ teaspoons vanilla flavoring.
07 - ¼ teaspoon fine salt.
08 - 1¼ cups tiny semi-sweet chocolate chips.
09 - 24 ounces softened cream cheese.
10 - 1½ cups powdered sugar, sifted (split use).
11 - 1¼ cups cold heavy whipping cream.
12 - 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
13 - 8 ounces whipped topping.
14 - 2 tablespoons small chocolate chips for sprinkling.

# Steps:

01 - Put flour evenly on a lined tray. Bake at 300°F for about 5-7 minutes until 160°F is reached. Cool it fully.
02 - Cream butter with sugars until smooth. Stir in cream, salt, and vanilla. Add cooled flour and chips, mixing it all together.
03 - Press 2 cups of dough into your springform pan. Roll the leftover dough into 10 large and several small balls. Refrigerate them all.
04 - Blend cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar until silk-like. Separately whip the heavy cream, extra sugar, and vanilla until peaks are firm.
05 - Gently combine the whipped cream and cream cheese mix. Toss in the small cookie dough balls before spreading over the crust.
06 - Cover the pan and chill for at least 6 hours or keep it overnight to allow it to set properly.
07 - Pipe whipped cream on top, sprinkle chocolate chips, and put large dough balls on the swirls.

# Notes:

01 - Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
02 - You're welcome to use store-bought edible dough.
03 - Stabilized whipped cream holds up best.
