Instructions

Cheesecake Layer

Set oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment of foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add cream cheese, and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, vanilla, and salt, the mix until combined.

Snickerdoodle Layer

Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a medium-size bowl and whisk together.
In a large bowl, add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and using a hand mixer beat together. Add in the eggs, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet and slowly mix until just blended.
Press half of the Snickerdoodle dough in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. (The dough will be sticky.)
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over the dough.
Pour over the cheesecake mixture. Dot the top of the cheesecake with the remaining Snickerdoodle dough. Sprinkle over remaining cinnamon sugar.
Bake in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes until the center is slightly set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, then place in the refrigerator to set. Slice and serve.
