Savannah Cheesecake Cookies

I was looking for a simple dessert for Father’s Day that would not take too much prep or cook time. This Paula Deen recipe was just that. It hardly took ten minutes to make and just a little bit of time to set up with the mint leaves and blueberries before I served them.

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 stick butter, melted

Filling:

  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla or almond extract
  • Fresh berries and mint leaves, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine flour, brown sugar, pecans, and butter in bowl. Press dough into an ungreased 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

For filling, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together in a bowl until smooth, using a handheld electric mixer; add eggs and extract; beat well. Pour over crust. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely. Cut into squares before serving. Decorate tops with berries and mint leaves.

One of my friends came over tonight (the one I made Peanut Butter Blossom cookies for) and it made me think of this. My roommate made him a cheesecake when he graduated a year and a half ago, but he lost the cheesecake pan (only Ryan could do that). The cheesecake she made was her classic recipe, which we used to create this cheesecake for the homecoming competition at school my freshman year (2008-2009). We entered it in the competition to represent the club we were all in. The heart theme is because it was Valentine’s Day weekend. Click on the photos for a quick shot at our cheesecake making and how we came to the final product. Every thing was made from scratch - all of the icings, chocolate molds, and cheesecakes. The only thing from a box was brownies.
