Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.


CRUST
1 1/2 cup vanilla wafer crumbs or graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
4 tablespoons melted butter
FILLING
3 packages cream cheese
1 cup coconut cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 can (14 oz. size) crushed pineapple
1 tablespoon rum (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
SAUCE
2 cans (14 oz. size) pineapple rings
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
Mix coconut and crumbs together then press into pan with butter and spread evenly.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes. As it bakes, cream the cream cheese while gradually adding in all the other ingredients saving the eggs for last.
Pour mixture into crust and bake in a water bath (place the cheesecake inside of a larger dish and fill the outer dish with water) at 325 degrees F for 1h 15min. Then turn off the oven and let it sit inside for at least another hour. Refrigerate overnight.
For the sauce, strain the pineapples and warm the juice. In a separate saucepot dissolve the sugar and water.
Once dissolved bring it to a boil and then let simmer. Add juice and bring it to a boil. Boil and simmer the syrup repeatedly to reduce, stirring it constantly.
Refrigerate overnight to thicken. For a garnish, dust pineapple rings with sugar and coconut flakes and broil for 10 minutes.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
