How to Make Cookie Dough Cheesecake Copycat Olive Garden

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 ¼ cups sugar until combined. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup sour cream.
Prepare the cookie dough swirl: Use 1 cup of your favorite store-bought cookie dough, or make your own. Roll into 1-inch balls.
Fold about ⅓ of the cookie dough into the cheesecake filling. Pour the remaining filling into the prepared crust.
Arrange the remaining cookie dough balls on top of the cheesecake filling. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly. Let cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Serve and enjoy!
