Instructions

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
    Add the egg, cocoa powder, vinegar, and red food coloring, and mix until combined.
    Gently fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
    Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie base.
  • Assemble & Bake:
    Crumble the remaining cookie dough on top of the cheesecake layer.
    Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips.
    Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
    Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
  • Serve:
