- **Crust:**
- Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup melted butter until moistened.
- Stir in ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
- Press mixture into the bottom of the pan and 1 inch up the sides.
- Bake for 6 minutes.
- Set pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Cookie Dough:**
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Set aside.
- **Filling:**
- In a separate bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese and ½ cup granulated sugar until smooth.
