Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate chip cookie crumbs with the melted butter to form a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your springform pan, creating a solid crust. Make sure to use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to pack it down tight. This crust is going to add an amazing texture to your cheesecake! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
