While crust bakes, prepare the cheesecake filling. Whip together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Whip in the salt, sour cream and heavy cream until well combined. Add the vanilla extract as this mixes.
Gently fold in the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
Slightly warm the cookie butter in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Mix into the cheesecake filling until completely combined.
Pour cheesecake filling into prepared crust.
Place a large roasting pan into the oven and fill with 4 cups hot water.
Place cheesecake carefully into the hot water bath and bake at 325°F for 75 to 80 minutes. Bake until sides are firm but center is still jiggly.
Leave cheesecake in the oven for another hour, with the door shut. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
Once completely cooled, remove cheesecake from springform and place on a serving platter. Melt cookie butter in the microwave. Fill a ziploc bag with the melted cookie butter and cut a small corner off the baggie and drizzle the top of the cheesecake with desired pattern.
Chill cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, however overnight is better.
