*P.S. You can also make a cookie crust which is what the one in the picture has, instead of a honey graham pie crust. Do whatever suits you!
Love the cookie dough crust, not a big baker but definitely making this. Would doing a ring of cookies around the top edge work( cook through) or should i spread them apart and leave spaces between them be better. tks
you will want to do that with uncooked dough, otherwise it won’t look right. if you want a “cookie ring” like the one in the picture, take your teaspoon and level the dough off and put it on the unbaked cheesecake batter rim. the finished product should look like halves of an egg arranged next to eachother. they will melt together and make the cookie ring. you can always leave me a message. I have been baking all my life and baking cheesecakes more than 20 yrs. I make my own very unusual crusts from everything from the traditional graham crackers to brownie batter. trust me on this one.
How do you make a cookie dough crust?

Did you ever get an answer on the crust?
spray the bottom of your springform pan with Pam for baking. if using premade cookie dough, let it come to room temp. cut it into thin slices and arrange closely in the bottom of the pan til mostly covered. bake 1/2 the time suggested on the packaging or until the cookie slices run together. remove from oven, set aside. make your cheesecake batter. fill pan. decorate top with remaining cookie dough as directed. BAKE THIS CAKE NO LESS THAN 45-50 MINUTES! if you don’t the cake will not set up. You also need to refrigerate a cheesecake at least 4-6 hours. Take it from me. I have been baking cheesecakes for more than 20 yrs. You need to cook the eggs well and chill well for the cheesecake to set up properly.
Did anyone else need longer than the 40 min at 350 to cook? Mine was still a cream cheese consistency in the middle. Thoughts?
How do you make the cookie dough crust?
I made the cookie dough crust by taking a whole roll of cookie dough, pressing it into a springform pan and baking 12 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and then proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
For The Crust
16 chocolate chip cookies (3 inches; baked until crisp), finely ground (2 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Stir together cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
