Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

24 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup sour cream

For the Topping:

½ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup snickerdoodle cookie crumbs (crushed cookies)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup sugar, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling:

        In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the cup of sugar, mixing until combined. Add the vanilla extract, 3 eggs (one at a time, mixing well after each addition), flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and sour cream. Beat until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.

          Combine and Pour:

            Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.

              Bake the Cheesecake:

                Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracks.

                  Cool and Refrigerate:

                    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

                      Prepare the Topping:

                        In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until smooth.

                          Serve:

                            Before serving, spread the sour cream topping over the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle the crushed snickerdoodle cookies on top for a delightful crunch. Slice and enjoy!
