How could this NOT taste good? Two of my favorite ingredients of all time: chocolate and cheesecake. Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips |
3/4 cup chopped pecans |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350; grease a 13x9 pan; set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine shortening and sugars; add egg and vanilla.
3. Combine dry ingredients (not chips or pecans), add to creamed mixture; fold in chips and nuts.
4. Set aside one-third of dough (topping); press remaining dough into pan; bake for 8 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; add eggs and vanilla until creamy; spoon over crust.
6. Drop teaspoons of reserved dough over filling (nicely spaced, please).
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes (lightly golden brown).
8. Cool on wire rack.
9. Cover and store in fridge.
