Ingredients used

Cheesecake Filling 

• Cream cheese – Make sure you are working with softened cream cheese.
• Powdered Sugar -This gives you a sweet smooth filling.
• Flour – This just keeps the filling thick.
• Vanilla Extract –  For flavor.
• Neon green food coloring –  I like the neon green food coloring best but you can switch it up to purple or even orange food coloring. 

Cookie Dough

• Butter –  You can use salted or unsalted whichever you prefer.
• Brown Sugar –  Keeps the cookies soft.
• Granulated Sugar – Every cookie needs sugar!
• Egg – I just use a regular large egg.
• Milk – Any kind of milk you drink is fine in this recipe.
• Baking Soda  – This helps the cookies rise a bit.
• Vanilla Extract- For flavor.
• Dark Chocolate Baking Cocoa  –  I like to use the dark chocolate baking cocoa for even more flavor. 
• Black gel food coloring –  The gel food coloring works best. 
• Flour – Just all-purpose works here.
• Halloween sprinkles –  I get these SPRINKLES from Amazon.

You can also use regular baking cocoa instead of the dark chocolate.
