Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box for cakelike brownies
24 Golden Double Stuf Oreo sandwich cookies

Filling

2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely mashed fresh strawberries (4 to 5 large berries)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

1

Heat oven to 325°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.

3

In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in mashed strawberries. Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each, just until blended. Beat in vanilla, food color and flour. Spread cream cheese filling evenly over cookie layer.

Expert Tips

tip 1
To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
tip 2
To make quick work of mashing strawberries, try a potato masher! In small bowl, place halved strawberries. Mash until berries have broken down, are juicy in texture, and there are no big pieces.
tip 3
To make cutting your cheesecake easier, dip a sharp straight-edge knife in warm water, and dry it each time you slice.
