Made these with real butter instead of margarine. Also reduced sugar to 2/3 cup each. Added two teaspoons cinnamon. Used semi-sweet chocolate chips. Reduced oven temp to 325. Baked for about 10 minutes. These cookies are fine...nothing to write home about. You don't really get the cream cheese flavor, which is a bummer. The dough is pretty sticky, but bakes up just fine. The flavor of the cookie is nice. The dough is really good. These cookies are great if you have some cream cheese you need to use up, but I don't know that I'd go out of my way to make them again. Still...not bad.

Made this this morning to use up some sweet cherries I had. Made exactly as written, except I reduced the cherries to 1 cup (all I had). I baked mine at 325 and for 55 minutes, and that was probably 3 or 4 minutes too long in my oven. I'll reduce cook time next time. Also added a simple sugar glaze. It tastes excellent. My whole family loved this!

These things are excellent--I doubled the recipe since I have a large family. I used one cup of white sugar and one cup of brown sugar. Gave them a really nice texture and chewiness. I also lowered my oven temp to 325 (since my oven runs hot) and baked them about 30 minutes.
