These are a bit of work and they need some more sweetness in the filling. Otherwise it comes out savory and would work as an appetizer I guess. Cute idea though and mine came out fine,<br/>just needed a bit more sweetness in the filling to be considered a dessert, in my opinion.

The cream cheese cookie cups were okay tasting, but the cookie cups were not cooked where the dough and creamcheese center meet.

These were really tasty. I added more orange juice to the filling but they turned out great. I'm going to make these for Christmas. I think next time I'm going to bake them a little longer though cuz the cookie part on the bottom wasn't cooked as well as it should have been.
