Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the sugar cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and extracts: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
  4. Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared sugar cookie crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool and chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly. Then, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan. Top the cheesecake with whipped cream, sprinkles, and crumbled or whole sugar cookies, if desired.

Notes

  • Sugar Cookies: You can use store-bought sugar cookies or make your own for the crust. If using store-bought, make sure they are crisp and not too soft.
  • Cream Cheese: It is crucial that the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Baking Time: Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. The cheesecake is done when the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  • Cooling and Chilling: The slow cooling and chilling process is essential for preventing cracks and ensuring a smooth and creamy texture.
