"Every baker is on the lookout for inspiration whenever the holidays roll around. The same cookie and cake recipes can get old when you repeat them year after year, and there's only so much a few sprinkles and some food coloring can do. But if you're looking for an easy way to amp up your holiday cheesecake, then we have just the tip for you: use your favorite Pillsbury Christmas cookies as the base."
"You don't want to overcook the cookies, so a no-bake cheesecake works best with this hack. However, you can experiment with the filling. A no-bake strawberry cheesecake will provide a festive color, or you can top a chocolate peppermint cheesecake with crushed up candy canes. You can also switch up which cookies you use. At the time of writing, Pillsbury was selling Reindeer Sugar Cookie Dough, Snowman Sugar Cookie Dough, and Elf and Grinch themed versions."
Layer pre-cut Pillsbury Christmas sugar cookies in a greased springform pan to create a single decorative base as the cookie edges melt together while baking. Pre-cut shapes retain their colorful designs and form a festive pattern across the disc. Arrange cookies facing the same direction for consistent patterning and bake at 350 Fahrenheit, checking after about 12 minutes to avoid overbaking until the base turns golden and gap-free. A no-bake cheesecake filling pairs best to prevent overcooking. Fillings can vary from strawberry for color to chocolate-peppermint with crushed candy canes. Use a full pack and experiment with different holiday cookie varieties.
