Book Club
BAKE ME: Thin Mint Shortbread Cookie Crust Cheesecake
IT’S COOKIE TIME!!! – Phyllis Nefler (one of my favorite all time movies)
Two weeks ago I hosted book club at my apartment. Each month we visit another members apartment and each bring a dish to share. I wanted to make a cheesecake from scratch but this time I wanted to also make the crust from scratch. I had seen the Pioneer Woman make her own on her Food Network show that morning and it seemed easy enough. She used Oreos for her crust – I decided to use Girl Scout Cookies. Two of my favorites actually – Shortbread and Thin Mints! It was such a hit at book club! Hope you like it as much as we did!
