Directions

• For the crust, mix the first 3 ingredients together in a large bowl with a fork until mixed together as thoroughly as possible. The texture of the mixture will be, well, bizarre. Dry and clumpy. Dump into a greased 9″x13″ pan, and press down with your hands. Cover the bottom and slightly up the sides of the dish.
• First, set aside about 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Now, for the gooey filling, in a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar while mixing (and I mean slowly, else you’ll end up with a huge cloud of powdered sugar all over your kitchen!) When you’re done mixing, the goo in the bowl should be nice and creamy.
• Pour the gooey stuff over the crust in the 9″x13″ dish. Bake at 325° for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. It’ll be so light and flaky too… yum!!
• Remove from the oven and let stand to cool; the gooey stuff will appear all puffy, but will settle upon cooling. After about 10 minutes or so, sprinkle the remaining powdered sugar over the top.
• Cool completely before serving. Personally, I like these still a little warm, but my friends also like to chill and eat them cold. Either way – they’re plain deliciousness!!
