So easy and My family loves it!!!! Make sure to put a pan of water in the bottom of your oven to prevent cracking!!!

Easy to make and not too sweet. I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and they turned out fine. The only problem I had was that the crust is rather soggy. So I may use more cookies and not grind them too fine next time. I used my mini cheesecake pan, baked at 275F for 20 mins and let cool in the oven. I had a pan of water in the lowest rack while baking which I think help the cakes stay moist and don't crack.

I agree...what a magnificent cheesecake!! If you are new to making desserts, this dish is great for a beginner. I initially chose this recipe because of its' simplicity and good review. I too like a thick crust so I followed the suggestion of KitchenManiac. By doing this I found that the batter can actually be enough for two cheesecakes. I baked it for 50 min at 325 degrees. Oh, and to try something a little bit different, try using the new Oreo flavors: Peanut Butter and Coffee :) ENJOY!!
