Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheese Cake

I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend filled with friends and family. Today I have a recipe from my mom's kitchen. I remember her making it a lot for us growing up. I haven't had it in forever. I was looking through an old Southern Living Annual Recipes cookbook, and the recipe card fell out. I decided it was a sign that I should share it with you. I hope you like it as much as we did!

Ingredients:

2 - 8 oz bars of cream cheese

2 packages of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies (in the roll)

1 cup of chopped pecans

1 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 eggs

Grease the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice 1 package of the cookie dough into thin slices, probably about 1/3 of an inch thick.

Line the bottom of the pan with the sliced cookies.

Combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and the eggs. Spread the combined ingredients over the cookies.

Sprinkle with the pecans.

Slice the other package of cookies. Place the slices on top.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the tops are browned (these might be a little too brown). Cool and cut into squares.

Grab a tall glass of milk and dig in!
