I've tried several different cream cheese-filled cookie recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are always soft and chewy, and the filling is perfectly creamy.

These cookies are a little too rich for my taste. I would probably use less cream cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The filling was just the right amount of tangy and sweet.

The cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overbaked them.

I found that the cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dough next time.
