  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for best results
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Omit if using pre-made cookie dough
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather ingredients and tools for mixing.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold into the wet ingredients.
  4. Press the dough into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  5. For the filling, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in sugar and vanilla, then add eggs one at a time.
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top, and tap to remove air bubbles.
  7. Lower oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes until edges set and center jiggles.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
