Cook's Notes:
48 gingersnap cookies comes out to about 2/3 a box.
The 2 main causes of cracks in a cheesecake are overbaking and cooling too fast. A water bath helps to keep a steamy environment while baking and prevent overcooking, and propping the oven door open to let it cool keeps the temperature from dropping too quickly.
