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
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. 
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.
