Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Make the Sugar Cookie Crust:

      - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

        - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and light in color.

          - Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) and mix until well incorporated.

            - Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

              Form the Crust:

                - Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

                  - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the cheesecake filling.

                    Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

                      - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

                        - Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until combined.

                          - Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

                            - Finally, mix in the tablespoon of flour just until incorporated.

                              Bake the Cheesecake:

                                - Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled sugar cookie crust in the springform pan.

                                  - Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.

                                    - Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

                                      Chill:

                                        - After the cheesecake has cooled, cover it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

                                              - Top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.

                                                Enjoy: Slice and serve your delightful Sugar Cookie Cheesecake, and enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness!
