Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed sugar cookies (or store-bought sugar cookie crust)
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar cookie dough (optional, for mixing into batter)
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • Festive sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: Mix crushed sugar cookies with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool slightly.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and sour cream in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the sugar cookie dough pieces and white chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven with the door propped open for one hour. This prevents cracking.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. Before serving, top generously with festive sprinkles. Release the springform pan sides.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, use a pre-made sugar cookie crust.
  • Chilling time is crucial for the best texture. Plan ahead.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
  • If you prefer bars, press the crust into a 9×13 inch pan and bake time may vary slightly.
