Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment and set aside.

  5. Add 3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Press about half the dough evenly into the prepared pan to form the bottom layer.
  7. Beat the 16 oz softened cream cheese until smooth.
  8. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.
  9. Pour the cheesecake filling over the bottom cookie layer.
  10. Sprinkle the full 16 oz of Heath toffee bits evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  11. Drop pieces of remaining cookie dough on top and gently press slightly.
  12. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes until the cheesecake is mostly set but still jiggles a bit.
  13. Cool fully, then chill before slicing.

Notes

For extra clean slices, chill overnight and use a warm knife for cutting.
