Notes

Storage Tips

  • Storage: Keep refrigerated and covered up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze slices individually for up to 1 month (thaw overnight in the fridge before serving).

Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure both cookies are completely cooled before adding the cheesecake filling so it sets properly.
  • Use a springform pan for easy, pretty slices.
  • Add crushed peppermint candy or drizzle melted white chocolate on top for extra holiday flair.
  • You will need three packages of cookies total. One for the crust, one for the cookie dough filling, and one for topping. 
  • Chill at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving for best texture.
  • You only need 10 baked cookies for the decorating, so you can use 30 cookies total for the cookie dough bites inside the cake if you want some extra cookie dough.
