Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • You can use any type of cream cheese for the filling. However, full-fat cream cheese will give you the richest flavor.
  • If you don't have powdered sugar, you can make your own by processing granulated sugar in a food processor or blender until it is fine.
