Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sugar Cookie Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed sugar cookies with melted unsalted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and blind-bake for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Gradually add sour cream, then eggs one at a time, and finish with vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  5. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Serve chilled and garnish with whipped cream, crushed sugar cookies, or sprinkles before slicing.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth filling. Blind-baking the crust prevents it from becoming soggy and adds to the texture of the cheesecake.
