Cheesecake Cookie Pie
Make This Cheesecake In About 30 Minutes!
I’ve made a lot of cheesecakes over the years, some were good, some were bad and some were complicated. This one is easy, quick and super delicious, combining a cheesecake with a buttery shortbread crust. At first I wasn’t sure what to call it, as the original recipe on Allrecipes.com calls it Cream Cheese Cookies, but to me it was more of a traditional cheesecake that can easily be cut into cookie bar squares. Whatever you call it, you’re gonna love this dessert. Enjoy!
