Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and light.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, fold in the vanilla extract.

  2. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie base.
Final Assembly

  2. Spoon dollops of marshmallow fluff over the surface and create swirls.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough on top.
  4. Prepare a crumb mixture using crushed vanilla wafers, chopped pecans, melted butter, and brown sugar, and sprinkle over the top.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This dessert can last up to a week. To enhance the butterscotch flavor, use dark brown sugar. For different textures, fold in chopped nuts or crushed cookies.
