INGREDIENTS
SNICKERDOODLE CRUST
- 1 1/2 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

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 
CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING

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. Set aside. 
SNICKERDOODLE CHEESECAKE
- In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in the beaten eggs. 
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust-lined pan, spreading evenly. 
CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING
- In a small bowl stir together 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. 
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until cheesecake is dark brown. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. 
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving
