Yummy--Cream Cheese Delights

Yummy--Cream Cheese Delights

The seesaw of cooking and baking is one of the delights of life.

While I found the German-Style Hamburgers to be Yucky, the same home cook offered the recipe for these cookies in the same feature. These are quick and easy, I would recommend doubling the recipe to get enough for your time.

(Sorry, I didn't get a chance to snap a picture.)

Cream Cheese Delights
1/2 c. butter-flavored shortening
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
Halved maraschino  or candied cherries

In small mixing bowl; cream shortening, cream cheese and sugar.  Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.

Drop by teaspoonfuls 2-inches apart on greased baking sheets.

Bake at 350-degrees for 12-15 minutes.  Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes a few dozen.
