"A sugar cookie crust, a thick cheesecake filling and cherries galore on top! A perfect dessert…that is, once you add some whipped cream of course!!! Try this cherry cheesecake soon! Thanks to the sugar cookie crust, this dessert comes together rather easily! The filling is simple, too! Just be sure to bring your cream cheese to room temp first for easier blending! - See more at: http://hugsandcookiesxoxo.com/2014/06/sugar-cookie-cherry-cheesecake.html#sthash.dc86iSbr.dpuf"

Questions & Replies

Can I use a 9” pan instead? It almost gets to full for an 8”!

Sarah M.
Should the pan be greased before putting the cookie dough in. , And should the cookie dough be room temp ??
