Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
20 ounces chocolate sandwich cookies
1/3 cup margarine -- melted
32 ounces cream cheese -- cut in chunks
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup whipping cream
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a food processor, whirl half of cookies, including filling, until they
form fine crumbs; mix in butter. Scoop crumbs into a 9" springform
pan and
press crumbs evenly over bottom of pan and about 1/2" up sides. Chill
crust
until firm, about 20 min.
In food processor, whirl or beat the cream cheese, sugar and whipping
cream
at med-speed until smooth. Add eggs, flour and vanilla; whirl or beat
again
to blend.
Pour 1/2 of cream cheese mixture over chilled crust. Break remaining
cookies
in half and scatter over mixture, overlapping cookies, if necessary, to
use
all. Pour remaining mixture over cookies. (If you whirl cream cheese
mixture
in a food processor, filling will be thin enough to allow cookies to float
to top during baking. If prepared in electric mixer, filling will keep
cookies in place.)
Bake cake 300 degrees F. for 1 hour and 20 min. Take cake from oven and
let
cool on a rack. Cover and chill until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, run a knife between cake and pan sides; remove rim. Cut
cheesecake into slender wedges to serve.

NOTES : I also sometimes melt semisweet chocolate chips with some butter
and
spread over the top after baking. Double yum!!
