These cookies not only are pretty to look at they taste fantastic. Who can resist a tasty cookie piled high with a creamy mixture packed full of sweetness. And to top it off the chocolate drizzled on top is the finishing touch! Read more Very good cookies!! See less

Made these again tonight, Michellem - what's so funny is that my husband normally likes 2 kinds of desserts...anything made of chocolate or fruit - not big on cream cheese or white cookies. I wish you could have seen the expression on his face when he bit into one of these...priceless!! He loved them - taking them to work next week for his office, and saving some for Erin to take to a friend's house next weekend... these cookies IMPRESS, and are sooooo easy to make!!!!
PS - I left out the coconut and pecans in the filling this time, due to some peoples allergies, etc - I prefer the coconut and pecan addition, but excellent either way.
