Preparation

  6. Stir in the sour cream and flour until well combined.
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie dough crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Drop small balls of the remaining cookie dough over the top of the cheesecake mixture.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
  3. Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Garnish with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles if desired. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookie dough and flour. You can add a teaspoon of almond extract for extra flavor. Don't rush the cooling process to achieve the perfect cheesecake consistency.
