This recipe is one of our favorite family recipes. However, so often we forget to take pictures because we're usually taking them to some potluck kind of get-together. So I made this recipe the other day for us and just a few friends and actually remembered to take pictures. I figured I'd repost it so you can see how delectably delicious it really is. Hope you enjoy!Cookie Crust:
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Filling:
2 pkgs softened cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars.
Beat in egg & vanilla.
Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture & mix well.
Fold in the chocolate chips with spoon.
Set aside 1/3 cup dough for topping.
Press remaining dough into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
