“C” is for cookie! Cookie Monster is my favorite Sesame Street character. Maybe it’s my love for the color blue or the addiction to chocolate chip cookies, but we were destined to be best friends. I couldn’t tell you how many Cookie Monster stuffed animals I had as a kid. To honor one of my beloved childhood characters, I am dedicating this cheesecake to him. And who wouldn’t want a chilled slice of Cookie Monster Cheesecake on a hot summer day?

Like Cookie Monster, this cheesecake is blue. His (our) love for chocolate chip cookies is in the crust. I crushed up a sleeve of Chips Ahoy, added some butter a pinch of sugar, and that formed the crust. Typically, a New York Style Cheesecake has a graham cracker crust. This is just as delicious.

I added blue dye and crushed up Oreos to the filling. The result is this delicious Cookie Monster Cheesecake. The crust turned out better than I thought and the filling is so creamy. I followed a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for the filling. It’s a New York Style Cheesecake recipe and it’s so delicious. I added the blue dye and Oreos myself.
