1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Ganache Topping:

1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
For the Cookie Layer:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
For the Brownie Layer:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Pour the brownie batter over the cookie dough layer, spreading it evenly.
For the Cheesecake Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
For the Ganache Topping:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.
Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
Once set, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into slices. Serve and enjoy!
Pro Tip:
For even cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts. This will give you neat layers that look as good as they taste!
