Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
When making the chocolate chip cookie crust, be sure to use cold butter. This will help the crust to hold its shape.
Don't overbake the chocolate chip cookie crust. It should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.

Let the chocolate ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake. This will help prevent the ganache from cracking.
