    Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

    Place a greased 9" springform pan on a double thickness

    foil around pan.

    In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press

    pan on a baking sheet. Bake until set, 12-14 minutes.
    Cool on a wire rack.

    In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until
    smooth. Beat in sour cream, flour and extracts. Add
    eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in
    chips. Pour into crust. (Pan will be full.) Place

    water to larger pan.

    Bake @ 325ºF/165ºC until center is just set and top
    appears dull, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Remove springform
    pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes.
    Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool
    1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Remove side of
    pan.

    For topping, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and
    sugar until smooth. Stir one-fourth of the whipped
    topping into mixture; fold in remaining whipped topping.
    Spread or pipe onto cheesecake. Garnish with crushed
    candy canes and shaved chocolate if desired.
