Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, sugar cookie crumbles, colorful sprinkles, fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the bottom and sides.
- Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan and about 1 inch up the sides. Par-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden, then let it cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and free of lumps, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until creamy.
- Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and your choice of sour cream or heavy cream until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled, par-baked sugar cookie crust.
- If using a water bath, wrap the springform pan in heavy-duty aluminum foil and place it in a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then remove it from the water bath and cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cool, cover the cheesecake loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform sides. Decorate with your chosen toppings and slice with a hot, clean knife.
