Drop cookie dough in 2- tablespoon portions evenly over cake; push dough beneath surface.

Spread topping over hot cake. Let cake cool, then chill until cold, at least 4 hours; serve or wrap airtight up to 2 days. Serves 12 to 16. COOKIE DOUGH: In a bowl, beat to blend 1/4 cup butter or margarine, 1/4 cup brown sugar -- firmly packed, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup semisweet chocolate baking chips or chopped pieces.

TOPPING: Mix 1 cup regular or light (reduced-fat) sour cream, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

COMMENTS: Soft, creamy lumps of chocolate chip cookie dough, made without egg, are a tantalizing surprise in this smooth cheesecake. Its a dessert that indulges those addicted to nibbling cookies before they bake.
