Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake

Sweet alliteration! I was teaching my high school students about poetry terms and we discussed examples of alliteration. Chocolate Chip Cookies was an example of alliteration that the students readily shared. That inspired me to make Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake! I shared them with good friends who happened to have a birthday last week. So happy I could share a special recipe with my friends on their special day!
