Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and start to clump. -Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment as well, or just grease pan really well. -Wrap the outside of the pan tightly with 2-3 layers of aluminum foil to prevent water from leaking in during the water bath. -Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of the pan. -Bake for 10 minutes. -Remove from the oven and let cool. Lower oven temperature to 325°. Filling: -Bring a pot or kettle of water to a boil. -In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the bowl and gently stir to remove excess air. -Add the cookie butter, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth. -Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. -Scrape the bowl and gently stir the filling again to remove any extra air. Cheesecake: -Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. -Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. -Place the cheesecake in a large baking dish. -Carefully fill it with the boiling water. -Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes, checking around 1 hour. The edges should be set and the center should still have a slight jiggle. -Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Leave the cheesecake inside for about 1 hour. -Remove and let cool completely at room temperature. -Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. -Remove the cheesecake from the fridge and carefully release it from the springform pan. -Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top. -Top with crushed Biscoff cookies, if desired. -Slice, drizzle warm cookie butter over the cheesecake.
