Ingredients

Scale

Sugar Cookie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream

  • Sugar sprinkles

  • Fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine with wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly.

  2. Prepare Filling:
    Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream and flour until creamy.

  3. Assemble:
    Pour cheesecake filling over cooled crust. Smooth top and tap pan to release air bubbles.

  4. Bake:
    Reduce oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake 40–50 minutes, until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.

  5. Cool & Chill:
    Cool 30 minutes at room temperature. Refrigerate 3–4 hours or overnight.

  6. Serve:
    Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or berries. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Room-temperature cream cheese prevents lumps.

A gentle jiggle in the center means it’s done baking.

Chill overnight for the best texture.

Cracks can be hidden with whipped cream—your delicious secret!
