Chocolate Chip Cookie Delight

I entered this recipe to Taste of Home (one of my favorite magazines). And they published it in there hardbound cookbook. This is so good and really great for those barbeque's coming up and family gatherings. It serves a lot and taste so good. Kind of like a chocolate chip cheesecake. There are several recipes similar but use a butter crust or graham cracker crust. This is so easy and the results are obvious when you bring the dish back empty. http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Delight
