I followed the recipe exactly as shown. However, I found the cookies to be a little on the bland side. I used chocolate rosebuds in the centers of the cookies, but I'm sure they'd be better with fruit filling. A good cookie recipe, none the less.

i used this exactly as it said. i didn't think it tasted to floury. but it's good wiht being lactose..i will make it again with 8 ounces of cream cheese. my first time having cream cheese cookies. Thanks!

I increased the cream cheese to 8 oz, decreased the flour to 2 cups, and doubled the vanilla. Delicious! They were all eaten in a couple of hours.

I used 8oz of cream cheese like someone else had suggested & these came out great. However, this is not a good dough to use with a cookie press, as it was far too sticky. I put some chocolate shavings on top & they tasted almost like a little chocolate cheesecake! Delicious!

these are good, light and cake-like. use 8 oz. cream cheese and double the vanilla.

I followed the recipe to a "T" and increased the cream cheese to 8oz, and it still tasted like flour. I did not like this recipe.

I increased the amount of cream cheese to 8 oz, and the cookies still taste like flour. Don't think I will make these again but thank you for posting the recipe and afforded me the opportunity to try it. The dough worked very well with my cookie press.

These were so yummy! I followed the advice of others and used all 8oz of cream cheese...how could that be bad! I wasn't brave enough to use my cookie press...(It still scares me) But I used a small scoop and flattened them out. Then the kids put the sprinkles on 'em. They tasted great....Santa loved 'em! Thanks Robin I can't wait to make them again!

I made these as Christmas gifts for our friends and neighbors. I am gluten intolerant so I had my teenage daughter try them and she gave them a 4! I used 8 ounces of cream cheese and they turned out nicely. I pressed a few chocolate chips into the tops to dress them up a bit.

I used 3 oz. for a batch and it turned out perfect! I ended up making two batches! Chilled dough for 2 hrs. and then rolled it out and made cut outs. Perfect! Best cut out cookie recipe. This is a KEEPER! The 3 oz. is definitely not a typo!

A friend of my family made these every year. This is a great recipe as long as you know the 3oz of cream cheese is supposed to be 8oz. I used the full amt of flour and they tasted fantastic!

This recipe was great. I gave it 4 because I changed the amount of cream cheese to 8 oz. Plus I did add some lemon flavor. The other reviews helped me to decide to make the change.

Perhaps I did something wrong. At first I cut back on the flour, but the dough was too soft to mold. After I made the first batch the cookies were bland, so I sprinkled some sugar on top for the second batch. I also made a little dip in the center of the cookie and filled it with fruit jam. I'm not too sure I would make this recipe again...

The Best cookies I've ever made! I made these cookies with a splash of lemon extract. I also filled the center with a strawberry jam that was low on sugar because this cookie is really sweet by its self. The cookies were a hit at my holiday party.

I was confused by the reviewer who stated that the recipes was wrong using 3 oz. of cream cheese. I don't remember using that small amount in any other recipes. So, I used 6 oz, & that's all I changed. PERFECTO! Light, crisp, yet tender with no floury taste, just that nice cheese flavor. I think this will be a keeper with 6oz.

I guess I should have read more of the reviews before I decided to use this recipe for my first time using a cookie press. Though I'm sure I could use practice, the dough didn't seem stiff enough. That said, I did manage to get a few sheets of very pretty cookies... I did put red raspberry preserves in the centers of about half of them. However, after all that work, I was really disappointed by the taste. I used 8 oz of cream cheese, as suggested by other users. They taste like a very mediocre shortbread... sorry.

These did not work in my cookie press well, and the flavor was a bit bland.
