This is an AMAZING recipe. It's seasonal, delicious and EASY! Everyone had seconds (which made us happy, but horribly full!) I only had a 10" springform available, but even with no changes AT ALL in the recipe, it came out perfectly. A real winner! -
Yummy! Very easy to make and no cracks in the cheesecake. I used cinnamon graham crackers instead of the cookies. I''m going to make this for Thanksgiving. -
I made this last Thanksgiving and everyone was impressed. It's a solid recipe. I substituted cinnamon graham crackers, and they worked fine. I'm sure the Pepperidge Farm cookies would be great. Very festive! -
Divine! I'd never made cheesecake before, and this was great! I just used a pie plate as I have no springform pan, and it was wonderful. Thanks! -
This is one terrific cheesecake. The only changes I made were to use sugar cookies for the crust, and to reduce the cinnamon to 1tsp and I'll do that again next time. I recommend serving straight from the frig as the cookie crust softened very quickly.

Delicious! I brought this to my relatives for Xmas eve dinner and it was a hit. The hint of clove and cinnamon was a perfect tasting blend of flavor that went along well with the cheesecake and cranberry. It was also my first time making a cheesecake; very easy recipe to follow. I used a 10 inch spring form pan and also used graham cracker crumbs instead of the cookies. -
