----TOPPINGS----
1 pint heavy whipping cream, whipped

Preheat oven to 325oF. CRUST: Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 10 inch springform pan. Combine the margarine with the chocolate cookie crumbs. Press onto the bottom and sides of the pan. FILLING: Using an electric mixer on high speed, combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs and flour; mix until smooth. Add vanilla and sour cream; mix just until blended. Pour one half of the batter into prepared crust. Cut cookie dough into golf ball sized chunks and drop into batter. Sprinkle in chocolate chips. Pour over remaining batter. Bake for 60 minutes. Turn off oven and open the door to the broil position. Allow cake to remain in oven 30 more minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve, remove the sides of the springform pan and top with fresh whipped cream. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
