MOTHER IN LAW COOKIES
This is a recipe I came up with because I dreamed up my mother in law asking for oatmeal cookies with no cinnamon and almond extract. I made the cookies and they taste great, even if it was a request I had imagined up lol

MOTHER-IN- LAW'S CHEESECAKE COOKIES
My late mil used to make these...they are so easy and just taste delish! Can be frozen, just make sure to put them in something that will keep them flat & seal them well. When you want to serve, put in fridge a while to thaw.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix crust ingredients together. Reserve 1 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture in bottom of 8" square pan. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with cheesecake mixture.
- 2. In medium bowl, blend all the cheesecake ingredients together, mixing well (I use my KA hand mixer). Spoon over baked crust, then sprinkle with reserved crust mixture. Bake 15 minutes longer.
- 3. I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 13"x9"x2" pan without any problem. Crust baking time increases by about 5 minutes, with filling, it's about 10 minutes more in my elec oven...you may have to adjust time in your own oven.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cookies bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cookies.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
