Speaking of cheesecake ...

This was the recipe I saw on Paula Dean the other day that I promised I would find. It is for cheesecake cookies, though they are really more of a bar. Again, super simple and they look really good ... I'm looking forward to making them.

Savannah Cheesecake Cookies

Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 stick butter, melted
Filling:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla or almond extract
Fresh berries and mint leaves, for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine flour, brown sugar, pecans, and butter in bowl. Press dough into an ungreased 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

For filling, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together in a bowl until smooth, using a handheld electric mixer; add eggs and extract; beat well. Pour over crust. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely. Cut into squares before serving. Decorate tops with berries and mint leaves.

She also put powdered sugar on top of hers and I bet almost any fresh fruit would be delicious (I'm thinking peaches or mangos, but that is mostly because I just bought some and I'm trying to think of what they would be good with).
