Cream Cheese Cookies

I have some cream cheese that needed to be used so I was searching for a cream cheese cookies recipe and I found this recipe at GroupRecipes shared by trackwidow 8 years ago.  This cookie is crunchy and simply delicious.  The sweetness is just nice too, I would definitely make this recipe again.  Thank you trackwidow for sharing this wonderful cookies recipe.

I packed some of these delicious cookies to share with Edda's teacher too!  She said she loved this yummy cookies!  YES!!  :)
