1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine or butter, melted

1-1/3 cups sugar, divided

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 eggs

1-1/2 tsp. vanilla, divided

1 cup Sour Cream

Directions

CRUSH 20 cookies. Mix cookie crumbs and margarine; press onto bottom of 8-inch springform pan. Stand remaining cookies around side of pan; set aside.

RESERVE 2 Tbsp. sugar. Beat cream cheese in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy; beat in remaining sugar, cocoa, eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla until fluffy. Pour into prepared crust. Cover tops of cookies with band of aluminum foil before baking to avoid overbrowning.

BLEND reserved sugar, sour cream and remaining vanilla; spread evenly over cheesecake. Return to oven; bake 10 minutes more. Cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Remove side of pan. Garnish with whipped topping and maraschino cherries, if desired.
