3 8 oz blocks cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
Instructions
1. Press sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Mix in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
4. Add sour cream and mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
5. Pour cheesecake filling over cooled cookie crust and smooth the top.
6. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45-50 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

8. Remove and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Use a water bath while baking to reduce cracking.
Let the cream cheese come fully to room temperature for the smoothest filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
