Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter and cane sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk, mixing well.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Fold in the Christmas sprinkles.
  6. Press this mixture into the bottom of a baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely.
Prepare Cookie Dough Balls
  1. In one bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
  2. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
  3. Add the vanilla and milk, mixing until combined.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, then stir in the Christmas sprinkles.
  5. Roll the mixture into small balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually add in the sugar, mixing consistently.
  3. Add the sour cream and heavy cream, followed by the vanilla.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, avoiding overmixing.
Assemble the Cheesecake
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled cookie crust.
  2. Carefully place the prepared cookie dough balls on top.
  3. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will still be slightly jiggly.
  4. Allow it to cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
Prepare White Chocolate Ganache
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small pot until it begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and let cool to thicken slightly.
Serve

  2. Optionally, sprinkle additional sprinkles for decoration.
