These delicious cookies are so easy to make, even your kids could make them! I highly suggest Knotts Berry Farm preserves for the filling, its the perfect touch to your cookie.

I add 8 oz of cream cheese and the whole egg. The cookies are soft and delicious. I push the center before baking and put a lillte mount of mini chocolate chips. Great for a snack.

I made a batch of these without a press or anything, and they tasted great! It's a very refreshing change and individual recipe. It might be even better if you added chocolate chips or rasins, though.

WITH 8 OZ CREAM CHEESE as other reviewers recommended, I give this 5 stars. I also used lemon extract and filled the centers with rasberry jam. They were perfect and delicious!

In my opinion these were just alright, not great. I did follow the advice of some of the other reviewers to increase the cream cheese and decrease the flour. I also tinted them green for St. Patty's Day and sprinkled green sugar on top. Cute, just not fabulous.

I don't know what to think of these! they held their shape well, but they were dense and filling little things. The taste was mild; not sweet, but cheesy. I used the 8 oz pkg and jello like other reviewers. Tasted fine, but I think if I want cheesecake flavor I'll make the real thing. If I want cookies then I'll make cookies. These were kind of like cheesecake biscuits.

I was so excited to try my new cookie press out, and even moreso when I found a recipe that called for the cream cheese I needed to use up! And then my cookie press didn't press the cookies out properly... So I just did drop cookies. I did a half-batch, used margarine instead of butter, and I used 4 ounces of cream cheese in the half-batch. Only using 3 ounces for a full batch is crazy, you want to TASTE the cheese! I used half a yolk, more like a teaspoon of vanilla, and only a cup of flour. With all the required changes, the original recipe only rates 4, but my end product was a 5. Soft, cheesy, and delicious. :) Thanks so much for the recipe, Robin!

Thanks BMALY...I came across your review yesterday and decided I had to try these w/your suggestion of the jello thus being able to color my Valentine's cookies w/the red in the jello. I only had raspberry and was hesitant but used it anyway and it tastes like raspberry cheesecake...used 4 tbsp. of jello powder. I am sure I would love the strawberry better and that is just a great suggestion. Thanks to the other reviewers for straightening out the cream cheese measurement. I used the full 8oz. but kept the flour the same. They ran beautifully through my electric press w/heart stencil. Press died half way through so I then used small size scoop and rolled the top in red sugar and used the heart stencil and pressed down on top flattening out the cookie and creating a heart on top...they came out so cute...3D effect. Don't throw away your stencils if your cookie press gives out. They smelled wonderfully baking and came out like a picture; no sticking to the sheet and have a buttery mild cream cheese flavor. With the correct amt. of cream cheese, these are a 5.
