I halved some of the cherries and paired them with a pecan. You could also mix dates with pecans or cherries. This is not a super-sweet cookie, which makes it a nice addition to a plate of richer cookies. If you have a ravioli wheel to cut the strips; it gave the cookies a decorative edge. Read more Dates add a natural sweetness that the pastry doesn't have and I like it that way. Cookie is very tender. See less

These sound really good. Cream cheese does give dough a nice flavor and makes it more tender. I bet these melt in your mouth.
