Category: Cookies

For the filling
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup coconut
Cream sugar, flour, vanilla and cream cheese together. Stir in nuts and coconut.

For the cookie
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream sugar, butter, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy. Blend in flour.

Shape 1 tsp of dough into a ball for each cookie. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets, or sheets lined with parchment paper. With thumb, make an imprint in the center of each cookie. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned on edges. Remove immediately from cookie sheets to wire rack.

While warm, fill each cookie with about 1/2 tsp of filling.

For the frosting
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup confectioners sugar

In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with water and butter, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add confectioners' sugar. Blend until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Makes about 5 dozen.
