Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Cookie Layer:

   - Bake at 180 degree Celsius for 5 minutes.

3. Prepare Cheesecake Layer:

   - In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy.

   - Add the eggs gradually, and continue beating until well combined and smooth.

4.  Assemble and Bake:

   - Pour the cheesecake batter over the chocolate chip cookie layer.

   - Smooth out the top with a spatula.

   - Add the rest of the batter on top.

   - Optionally, sprinkle some additional chocolate chips.

   - Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are slightly golden brown.

5. Cool and Serve:

   - Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes.

   - Once cooled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

   - Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
