To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cookie dough:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the cheesecake:

- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. Begin by making the cookie dough. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Press the cookie dough into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add the eggnog, vanilla extract, eggs, flour, and nutmeg, mixing until well combined. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cookie dough crust.
Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice into pieces. The Eggnog Cookie Dough Cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert that is perfect for the holiday season. The cookie dough crust adds a delicious crunch, while the eggnog flavor is the perfect complement to the creamy cheesecake filling.
