INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350.

  3. For the cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese with sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon until fluffy and smooth (about 3-4 mins). Pour over graham cracker crust.
  4. For the cookie dough, beat butter with sugar for 2 mins. Add egg and vanilla and beat thoroughly. Add in baking powder, salt, flour, and cinnamon and beat until fully combined. Scoop dough on top of the cheesecake layer. Spread gently until cheesecake layer is fully covered.

Fry Fam’S TIPS

  • You can add some chopped pecans if you desire nuts, however, I like the sweet and creamy texture without nuts.
