Ingredients

Snickerdoodle Crust

  • 1 ½ cups snickerdoodle cookie crumbs, about 12 cookies
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Snickerdoodle Cheesecake

  • 2 packages (16 total ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

Snickerdoodle Crust

  • Add the melted butter to the snickerdoodle cookie crumbs and, using a fork, mix well. You want every crumb coated in the butter as this will be the glue that holds it together. If you are using store-bought cookies, you may need to add more butter.
  • Pour the coated snickerdoodle crumbs into a 9-inch springform pan. Pat them flat with your hand and then use a kitchen glass to press flatter.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F. While baking, prepare the topping and filling.

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • In a small bowl stir together 1 tablespoon sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside until you have made the filling.

Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in the beaten eggs.
  • After the crust has baked for 10 minutes, pour the cream cheese mixture into the pan, spreading evenly with a spoon or off-set spatula.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the filling as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is dark brown and does not giggle aggressively in the center. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. 
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
