    Yum yum yum, these are very good. I was told that these are worthy of hiding, so they don't get eaten up. Thanks Bev!

    this was VERY easy to make, and tastes so good! i excluded the lemon juice, and added a lot more vanilla, and cinnamon powder in the crumbs. next time i may add crushed oreo to the cream cheese mix too. thanks for this recipe!

    100 stars! I am not a cheesecake fan mainly because I don't care for the richness of the cream cheese - my husband is a huge cheesecake lover - these are just perfect little "bites" that satisfy both of us - AND he can have as many as he likes! Changes I made were: lemon zest and sour cream (1/4 cup) - for the crust I added 1/4 cup oats and coconut for texture. I served the squares with strawberry sauce and whipped cream. By the way - they freeze very well. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

    Awesome and easy! Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I topped the cookies with cherry pie filling (from a can) to look just like yours.A tip, cut the cookies BEFORE adding the toppings.When I cut,it came out looking a little messy-but tasted deeelicious! Used lime juice instead of lemon- came out great!
