 Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

 Place a greased 9" springform pan on a double thickness
 of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Securely wrap
 foil around pan.

 In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press
 onto bottom and 1" up the side of prepared pan. Place
 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
 springform pan in a large baking pan; add 1 in. hot
 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.
