    @primesuspect voted cookies, pretty sure his vote counts at least twice

    While I'm leaving my vote for cheesecake up, this is really the easier thing. Cookies are delicious as long they are not the hard, dry abominations that overbaking gives.

    Im not worried about bringing cheesecake. Anything I make will need at least a napkin if not a plate.

    My only rules about cheesecake:

    • No flour in the filling!
    • 1:1 ratio of eggs to 8oz cream cheese packets seems to me the perfect balance. Recipes that don't use this ratio tend to be inferior, IMO.
    • Crust must be made of graham crackers or a similar material. I recently had a Biscoff cookie for the first time and joked it would make a delicious cheesecake crust.

    I highly recommend a water bath during baking for optimal texture and to prevent the eggs from curdling. My cheesecakes never came out "right" until I started doing that. It doesn't take much, 1/4" of water in a larger sheet pan with the baking pan set in that is all you need.

    I'll also recommend blind-baking the crust for ~10 minutes to give it some firmness, especially if you're making it on the thicker side.

    For ease of making this, don't feel some rigid need to make a round cheesecake. Get the biggest rectangular baking dishes you have so that you can whip out big batches. With a 13x9 pan, using a recipe that had 3 eggs and 24oz of cream cheese, I find you end up with a cheesecake about 3/4-1" high that comfortably serves 20-24 people a good size slice. You can make it thicker by scaling up the recipe and then everyone gets pieces that are smaller width and lengthwise, but there do need to be adjustments to the cooking time as you do that.

    Cheesecake is dense, each ~2x2x1 slice is the caloric equivalent of twice the volume in cookies, so you could probably make enough cheesecake for everyone with plenty to spare with 2 4-egg 13x9 batches or 3 3-egg 13x9 batches.

    Asceticism is en vogue, it seems.

    While your cheesecake rules sound delicious, my only rule about cheesecake is that it needs to get in my mouth right the hell now.

    I concur!

    I wrote that 14 years ago and it could use some slight tweaks and sweet lord could the writing douchiness be toned down...but the skeleton is very solid.
