Description
A Sweet and Creamy Dessert Delight combining a buttery sugar cookie crust with a luscious cheesecake filling, evoking childhood memories of warm cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup sour cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Sugar sprinkles (for topping)
- Fresh berries (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, combining until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, then let cool slightly.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each. If using, add the sour cream and flour, mixing until creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled cookie crust. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles. Reduce temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40–50 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, and berries before serving.
Notes
For best results, allow the cheesecake to cool properly before refrigerating. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
