Prepare the Crust:In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the base of mini cheesecake pans. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Make the Filling:In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, then gently fold in the sour cream.
Fill the Pans and Bake:Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the mini cheesecake pans. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 22-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature.
Make the Strawberry Glaze:In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.
Assemble:Spoon the strawberry glaze over each cooled cheesecake. Garnish with whole or halved strawberries and crumbled cookies.
Chill and Serve:Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 3 hours before serving to allow them to set fully.
