Ingredients

Crust

25 Golden Oreos (do not remove the filling)
4 Tablespoons butter melted (salted or unsalted is fine)

Cheesecake Squares

32 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature (use brick-style cream cheese, not the sort sold in tubs)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 13x9 metal pan with parchment paper (I like to use enough that it goes up the sides of the pan (this helps keep the cheesecake from cracking as the parchment will allow it to constrict as it cools).
Place Golden Oreos in a food processor and process cookies into fine crumbs.
