Ingredients

• 16 oz sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 16 oz cream cheese
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large egg
• 0.5 cups Nutella

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Use your hands or a flat object to smooth it out.

Step 3

Bake the sugar cookie crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool slightly while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the cheesecake filling over the partially baked sugar cookie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Warm the Nutella slightly (in the microwave for 10-15 seconds) to make it easier to drizzle.

Step 8

Drop dollops of Nutella on top of the cheesecake filling and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it gently, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are slightly golden. The center may jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature. Then, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve.

Step 12

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
