• 1 (7.25-ounce) package butter cookies, crushed
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Orange liquid food coloring (optional)

1. Stir together cookie crumbs and butter; press evenly in bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pieplate.
2. Bake at 350u0b0 for 8 minutes; remove to a wire rack, and cool completely.
3. Beat cheese and powdered sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and, if desired, food coloring until blended; fold in 2 cups whipped topping. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly into prepared crust.
