Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Gingersnap cookies crushed, about 25-30 cookies
  • ¼ cup Butter melted
  • 32 ounces Cream cheese
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ cup Cookie butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Place crushed gingersnap cookies in a bowl and pour in melted butter. Stir until the butter and crushed cookies are thoroughly mixed.
  • Pour the crushed cookies into the baking pan and press them down firmly to create a bottom crust.
  • In a large bowl add the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar and mix until blended. Add sour cream and continue to mix.
  • Add eggs one at a time until fully combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust.
  • Slightly heat the cookie butter in the microwave (about 10 seconds) and then drizzle over the batter running a knife through it to create swirls of cookie butter in the cheesecake batter.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the outer edge is set and the center is almost fully set.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut into squares.
