Cream Cheese Filled Cookies

These cookies were SO good. I got the recipe from www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com.

Cookies

1/3 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup shortening

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 3/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

(I halved the filling recipe and it was just enough.)

Topping

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips melted

Directions

In a large bowl cream the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla, beat again.

Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

I used my cookie scoop and then pressed them down a bit.

Bake at 375 for 11-13 minutes. Immediately after removing them from the oven make an indention in the middle with the back of a wooden spoon.

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread on cookies.

For the chocolate topping I put the chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag and put in the microwave. Heated in 30 second increments until it was melted enough and drizzle the cookies. Enjoy. Keep in fridge.
