Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a greased 9-inch square baking pan.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and cookie butter. Beat until well combined.
  5. Pour filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.
  7. Allow to cool completely and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  8. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
  9. Cut into squares and serve with optional toppings.

Notes

Chill Out: If your cheesecake isn’t firming up, give it more time. Substitution Fun: Substitute cookie butter with almond or peanut butter. Fancy Presentation: Drizzle more caramel before serving.
