Step-by-Step Instructions for Sugar Cookie Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and parchment paper.
- Bake 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour in a small oven-safe dish for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream together ½ cup unsalted butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, eggs, and mix in the dry ingredients.
- Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix remaining flour with a pinch of salt; cream together ½ cup butter, ½ cup sugar, vanilla, and milk. Form into balls and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese with ¾ cup sugar until smooth; add sour cream, heavy cream, and eggs, mixing gently. Fold in frozen cookie dough balls.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in a water bath and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 80-90 minutes.
- Let cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- Heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over white chocolate chips to make ganache. Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake and decorate with cookie dough balls and sprinkles.
