Oreo cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oreo cookies crushed
  1/2 stick of butter or margarine
  3 pkg cream cheese (8 oz ea.)
  1 can condensed milk
  3 eggs
  2 tsp vanilla extract

Mixed the crushed cookies with the softened butter. Press onto baking pan.

Beat cream cheese (if you don't do this first, you will end up with lumps), add the condensed milk, vanilla and eggs until mixed.

Pour over cookie crust. Bake at 300˚ for about 45 to 50 minutes until set. Cool

Variation: if you are a die hard chocolate lover, you can melt a bag of chocolate chips and mix it with half the cream cheese mixture. Pour the plain cream cheese mixture first and then drop the chocolate by tablespoons and swirl.

Variation 2: If oreos are "your" cookies, then you can add some crushed oreo pieces to the cream cheese mixture before baking.
