1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Make the Brownie Layer:
Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box or using your homemade recipe.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brownie is mostly set but slightly underdone in the center. (It will finish baking later with the cheesecake layer.)
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
3. Make the Cheesecake Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled brownie layer and smooth the top.
4. Bake the Cheesecake:
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly cracked for 30 minutes to cool gradually.
After 30 minutes, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
5. Make the Cookie Dough Layer:
While the cheesecake chills, prepare the cookie dough.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the heat-treated flour and mix until incorporated.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
6. Assemble the Dessert:
Once the cheesecake has fully chilled, spread the cookie dough evenly on top of the cheesecake layer.
Optionally, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top for decoration.
7. Chill and Serve:
Return the assembled cheesecake to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set the cookie dough.
When ready to serve, remove from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
