Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I first took my package of Oreo cookies and crushed them into fine crumbs. I find the quickest way to do this is by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin. Once they’re crumbly, I’ve melted my butter and mixed it in a bowl with the cookie crumbs, forming a crumbly crust. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, pressing gently to create a firm base. Now it’s time to make the cream cheese layer! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
