Tip of the Week

1-1/2 cups finely crushed oreo cookie crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter in medium bowl and press in bottom and 1/2" up sides of a 9" springform pan.

In large bowl, combine cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Beat until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, and 1 tsp. vanilla and beat until well blended. Pour onto crust.

In small bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar and beat until combined. Add water, 1 tsp. vanilla and beat well. Stir in flour and chocolate chips until combined. Drop this cookie dough in 1 Tbsp. portions evenly over cheesecake surface. Gently push dough beneath the surface.

Bake in a 350 degree oven about 35-40 minutes until cheesecake jiggles slightly when gently pushed. While cake is baking, combine 1 cup sour cream, 2 tsp. sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla in a small bowl and spread this topping over the hot cheesecake when it comes out of the oven. Let cake cool on wire rack, then chill in refrigerator 4-6 hours until cold. Serves 12
