I found this a few years ago in Cooking Light. I made these for a holiday cookie exchange and everyone loved them. They were easy to make in bulk and extremely tasty. The recipe recommends that you avoid handling the dough too much or the dough will become heavy and dense.

Tips:

- Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother batter. - Cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy for a more decadent texture. - Don't overmix the batter, or the cookies will be tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. - Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them to prevent the glaze from running off. - Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
