Ingredients

1 1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into chunks
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Mix the chocolate wafer cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons white sugar, and melted butter together in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom and 1/2-inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
3 Bake crust in the preheated oven until set, about 8 minutes.
4 Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Add 1 cup sour cream, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until batter is smooth. Pour batter over crust into springform pan.
5 Beat 1/4 cup butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup white sugar together in a bowl. Stir water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into brown sugar mixture. Add chocolate chips and flour; stir until cookie dough is well-combined. Drop cookie dough in 2 tablespoon portions evenly over the top of the cheesecake, pushing dough beneath the surface of the batter.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is almost completely set and jiggles slightly in center when shaken, about 40 minutes.
7 Stir 1 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons white sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Spread sour cream mixture over hot cheesecake. Cool cake to room temperature and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.
