Growing up, the cookie of choice in our house were Oreos. There was nothing better than a few cookies, broken apart, and then dunked in ice cold milk for an evening snack after homework.
When I recently ran across this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Oreo Crust, I knew I found a perfect dessert to make for Valentine’s Day. What could be better than the creaminess of cheesecake, the crunchy goodness of Oreos, and the sweet taste of chocolate rolled into one delicious dessert.
