Cookie Butter Cheesecake Recipe

Do you love cookie butter? Try this delicious Cookie Butter Cheesecake with a cookie crust and topped with crushed cookies with a cookie butter drizzle.

I tried cookie butter for the first time a couple years ago and it was love at first taste. Now I always have at least one jar in my cupboard. It’s my favorite topping to use on waffles and pancakes. While I was online checking out Kraft recipes, I discovered their Cookie Butter Cheesecake and I knew I had to try it!

I was a little nervous since I haven’t made a cheesecake in many years. But the recipe looked pretty easy to follow. I wanted to make it right away so I had to go to the store to pick up the ingredients. Since I like to make every day delicious with Kraft, I also brought along my Kraft coupons which included a $1.00 off two Philadelphia Cream Cheese bricks.

As soon as I got home, I began the process of making the cheesecake. I sat the cream cheese and eggs on the counter to bring them closer to room temperature. While they were warming up a bit, I sat six of the European style cookies to the side and crushed up the remaining cookies. Then I pressed the crushed cookies into the bottom of a springform pan.

Then in a large bowl, I beat the Philadelphia Cream Cheese, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg with a mixer until blended. I added the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Then I poured the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan.

I placed the pan in the preheated oven to bake for one hour, until the center was almost set. Once the cheesecake cooled down, I ran a knife around the rim of the pan to loosen the cake. I removed the rim of the pan and placed the cheesecake in the refrigerator for four hours.

Before I served the Cookie Butter Cheesecake, I had to make the topping. I coarsely crushed the remaining cookies and sprinkled them over the cheesecake. In the microwave, I melted a 1/4 cup of cookie butter in a microwaveable bowl for 30 seconds. I finished the cheesecake by drizzling the melted cookie butter over the top. The Cookie Butter Cheesecake turned out great. I took the cheesecake to a family party and everyone loved it. I ended up bringing home an empty plate, which I was happy and slightly disappointed about. I’m just going to have to make another Cookie Butter Cheesecake so I can enjoy some more of it.
