## **Instructions**

### 1. **Prepare the Cookie Dough Base**

* Heat-treat your flour by microwaving it in a bowl for 1–2 minutes or baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
* In a large bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until creamy.
* Add vanilla, salt, and gradually mix in the heat-treated flour.
* Stir in the mini chocolate chips. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
* Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan to form an even crust. Chill while you make the cheesecake layer.

### 2. **Make the Cheesecake Layer**

* Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
* Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
* Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled cookie dough base.

### 3. **Top and Chill**

* Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the top, pressing gently into the cheesecake layer.
* Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
* Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice into bars.
