Method
Place about half of cookies in a food processor and process until fine crumbs. Add melted butter and mix. Turn crumbs into a 9 inch spring form pan and press over bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of pan. Place cream cheese, sugar, whipping cream and pumpkin puree in bowl of a food processor or mixer and process until mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, flour, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract then process until blended. Pour half of batter into spring form pan. Break cookies in half and place on top of batter in spring form pan. Pour remaining batter over cookies. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 80 minutes or until cheesecake jiggles slightly in center when gently shaken. Remove cheesecake from oven and cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove the rim from around the cheesecake using a knife if necessary to loosen the cheesecake. Slice cheesecake into wedges and serve.
