Anita's Notes:

Who can turn down cheesecake with Oreo cookies? I get nothing but raves when I make this cheesecake.

Directions

Crust:
Mix melted butter with Oreo crumbs and press in the bottom of a greased 9 inch springform pan.
Cover bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides with crumbs.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

All ingredients need to be at room temperature before beginning.

Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy.

Keep mixer on a low setting during the mixing and beating process.

Add sugar gradually and continue beating cream cheese until mixed through.

Add eggs, one at a time, and continue to beat until blended.

Sir vanilla, salt and flour into cream cheese and egg mixture.

Add the sour cream.

Turn off the mixer and gently stir in the 5 coarsely chopped Oreo cookies with a spoon.

Pour the mixture into a springform pan; top with the 7 remaining coarsely chopped cookies.

Place pan on top rack and in the middle of a preheated oven at 325 degrees and bake for 75 minutes.

Turn off the oven; prop the door open several inches and let the cheesecake stay in the oven for 1 hour.

Cool on wire rack.
