These are absolutely wonderful. I doubled the recipe, baked them in a 9x14 pan, and they were perfect. How nice to be able to make something this good and easy with the ingredients that you have on hand. I took them to Bunko and brought home an emply plate and lots of requests for the recipe.

AMAZING! I made the following alerations: Added 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 finely chopped walnuts, and 1 tsp special dark cocoa powder to the crust/topping mix. Added 1/4 coarsely chopped special dark chocolate chips to the baked crust before pouring cheesecake mix into crust.

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!
