Cream the cheeses together; add egg yolks, sugar, cognac and vanilla. Pour into prepared pie crusts and drizzle with chocolate sauce, if desired. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 2 pies.
NOTE: Amaretto, frangelica or other liqueurs may be substituted for the cognac. For a plain cheesecake, use only the vanilla. Chopped pecans or other nuts may be added.
