Description
This dessert is a dreamy mash-up of two all-time favorites: soft sugar cookies and creamy cheesecake. With a buttery cookie crust and a luscious cheesecake filling, it’s perfect for birthdays, holidays, or any moment that deserves a little sweetness.
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough (16.5 oz)
or 2 cups crushed sugar cookies + ½ cup melted butter
For the filling:
3 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
½ cup sour cream
Optional: ½ tsp almond extract for extra flavor
Toppings (optional):
Whipped cream
Sprinkles or crushed sugar cookies
White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the crust: Press sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
Mix the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, eggs (one at a time), and sour cream. Mix until just combined—don’t overbeat.
Pour & bake: Pour filling over crust. Bake for 45–55 minutes until the center is just set.
Cool & chill: Let cheesecake cool at room temp, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing.
Decorate: Add whipped cream, sprinkles, or cookie crumbles before serving!
