Ingredients
2 8 ounce packages cream cheese
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 10 ounce package shortbread cookies, finely crushed
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 8 ounce carton sour cream
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Allow cream cheese and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For crust, in a medium bowl stir together crushed cookies and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press mixture onto the bottom and 1-1/2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup sugar, flour, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in eggs.
Step 3
In a small bowl stir together 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour cream cheese mixture into crust-lined pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place springform pan in a shallow baking pan.
Step 4
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a 2-1/2-inch area around outside edge appears set when gently shaken. Cool in springform pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, loosen crust from sides of pan. Cool for 30 minutes more. Remove sides of pan; cool cheesecake completely on wire rack. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
