"All-to-Myself" Cheesecakes

written by Carol Hansen

Ingredients:
24 OREO cookies                     
3 eggs
3 (8-oz. pkgs. cream cheese)       
3/4 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar                       
2 teaspoons shortening (butter)
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:  Split Oreos.  Keep filling on 1/2 of the cookie.  Line a muffin tin with foil baking cups.  Place filling-covered cookie in baking cups, filling side up.  Set aside.  In a medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.  Beat in eggs just until well-mixed.  Spoon cream cheese mixture into baking cups.  Crush remaining cookie halves and sprinkle over cream cheese mixture.  Bake, uncovered, at 325* for about 25 minutes or until set.  Cool.  In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with butter over low heat, stirring frequently.  Drizzle over baked cheesecakes.  Cover and chill.

Optional:  If you want to have a little more color on each cheesecake, you can top each with a small spoonful of cherry pie filling.
