  1. 5-stars just for how easy these are. But they really are very good, so 5-stars for the overall taste, too. I used Cherry Preserves because that's all I had in my pantry. But the cream cheese filling was so good and really made this a wonderful little cookie such a treat. I would be happy to bring these to a potluck, party or any type of gathering. Thanks for such a great recipe, Kim!
     
  2. Great little Cookies! I've made these twice now (in as many days!) and they are as lovely as they are delicious. My first batch was made with fat-free cream cheese, and although the taste was not compromised, the mixture was not as firm as when I used reg. cream cheese for my second batch. I also used vanilla and chocolate bark (vanilla for 1/2 the batch and then chocolate on the other 1/2) for the drizzle on top since this was what I had on hand. This recipe has definately made it into my collection! Thanks, Kim!
     
  3. Delicious Valentine's recipe!! I made my own pie crust and used light cream cheese, but other than that I stuck to the recipe. Makes for a beautiful presentation, too! Thanks for posting!! :)
     
  4. These are so easy and so good! I made these for a womens' gathering and everyone raved about these delicious simple-to-make cookies. I used two different sized heart cookie cutters, 3-inch and 2-inch so made 15 jamwiches - half of them were topped with semi-sweet dark chocolate and half with the white chocolate! I was out of red sprinkles so sifted some powdered sugar over the top of the cookies. Thanks for sharing this keeper!
     
  5. I made these on Valentine's Day for my family and they were lovely! Instead of pie crust dough (unavailable in Greece and I was too lazy to make my own), I used purchased puff pastry. The result was a kind of milles feuilles (Napoleon) filled with a cheesecake-style filling. I recommend you beat the cream cheese filling and not just stir it together - fluffier. Used regular chocolate chips instead of the white chocolate for decor. We were all quite taken with these and they were so easy to make.
