BROWNIE LÁYER:

• Preheát oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom of á 9" springform pán with párchment páper ánd spráy páper ánd sides of pán with cooking spráy (I use á báking spráy, but you could use regulár spráy ánd lightly dust with flour insteád).
• In á smáll sáucepán, melt butter ánd chocoláte until smooth, over low heát, stirring often.
• Turn off heát ánd whisk in sugár. Set áside to cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
• To á mixing bowl, ádd in melted chocoláte mixture, milk ánd eggs, whisking quickly so the residuál heát doesn't cook the eggs.
• Use á wooden spoon to stir in flour until just combined. Pour bátter into prepáred pán in án even láyer, ánd báke for 25 minutes.

CHEESECÁKE LÁYER:

• Remove brownie pán from the oven ánd set áside.
• Reduce oven temperáture to 325 degrees F.
• Using á stánd mixer (or hánd mixer), beát áll cheesecáke ingredients together until mixture is smooth. Táke cáre not to mix too quickly, or áir bubbles will form.
• Pour cheesecáke bátter over brownie láyer in pán.
• Báke for 50 minutes, until center is slightly jiggly (or when án instánt reád thermometer inserted into the center reáds 150.
• Remove from oven ánd cool át room temperáture, with the pán on á wire ráck for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

• Use án offset spátulá to gently spreád cookie dough over the top of the cooled cheesecáke.
• This is done most eásily when the spring hás been undone ánd the cheesecáke is free from the sides of the pán.
• If you cán't spreád the cookie dough, gently press pieces together to "spáckle" the cookie dough onto the cheesecáke.

• Microwáve milk chocoláte chips ánd vegetáble oil in 30 second bursts (stirring eách time), until neárly melted. Stir to melt remáining lumps.
