Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies.

**These were AMAZING!!! And honestly, really easy! I halved the recipe because heaven knows I DID NOT need 30 cheesecakes in my house to tempt me!!! :-) They turned out EXCELLENT!

**I made my own whipped topping for the top: Recipe Below:

Whipped Topping:

1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat whipping cream on high until it thickens to the consistency of cool whip and will form a stiff peak. About 7 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until combined! Serve over cheesecakes. Whipped topping can be stored in the fridge for later use!
