Tips and Tricks

Variation:Omit white chocolate.  Remove and discard paper liners from chilled cheesecakes; place cheesecakes, cookie sides up, on serving plate.  Coat one end of each halved cookie in melted semi-sweet chocolate; top with football-themed sprinkles instead of decorating the cookies to resemble as directed in recipe.  Top cheesecakes with whipped topping and decorated cookies.  Then, add football-themed party pick to each cheesecake if desired.
Variation:Omit 12 OREO Cookies.  Place remaining 24 cookies in paper-lined muffin pan cups; cover with cheesecake batter.  Bake cheesecakes as directed.  Decorate 24 Mini OREO Cookies with melted semi-sweet and white chocolates as directed.  Use to decorate cheesecakes along with the whipped topping and sprinkles just before serving.
