First Layer: Beat cream cheese until lumps are gone, then add sugar and
mix well. Add melted chocolate chips, then cookies. Mix in eggs and
vanilla. Pour into pan and place in freezer to firm up.

Second Layer: Beat cream cheese until lumps are gone.
Add sugar, chocolate chips, then sour cream. When smooth, finish with
eggs and extracts.

Pour second layer on top of (hopefully) firm first layer. Bake at 325
degrees for 1-1/2 hours, until top feels jiggly but firm. Cool,
refrigerate.

topping is still runny, spread over whole cake and decorate with cookies.
Accent with green icing around cookies. Keep chilled.
