Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Use nonstick cooking spray to coat an 8 by 8 square baking dish.
- Place the chocolate chip cookies into a large plastic bag and use a rolling pin or a meat mallet to crush all the cookies to a fine crumble. Reserve ¼ of the crumble mixture for the topping.
- To make the crust combine ¾ of the crushed chocolate chip cookies with the melted butter. Mix well and pour into prepared baking dish. Use your hands to press the crumble to make a nice crust. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- For the cheesecake filling combine the cream cheese, yogurt, egg whites, and flower in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to combine everything until the mixture is smooth and lump free.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips to the cheesecake filling.
- Pour the cheesecake filling right over the crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Once completely chilled sprinkle on the remaining crumbled cookies and drizzle with melted white chocolate.
