Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  8. Spoon about two-thirds of the cookie dough into the skillet, pressing gently to form the bottom layer.
  9. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cookie base and spread evenly.
  10. Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the top of the cheesecake layer.
  11. Bake for 25-35 minutes until set and golden brown.
