These cookies taste awesome. I have a feeling they are five-star cookies, but they turned out looking like three-star. Mine spread all over the pan, even though I started with cold dough that had been in the fridge for two days. DH loved them as is, but they were definitely not "cookies"! Will definitely keep trying until they come out well, maybe add more flour as another reviewer noted. I live in Costa Rica, so sometimes ingredients aren't what we expect in terms of quality - it could have something to do with the butter or the cream cheese, or maybe even our weather. Due to so many good reviews, I hesitate to fault the recipe, so four-stars for now. Will update on the next try...

i'm 25 years old and have had a passion for baking ever since i was 9 and baked my first mini whipped cream and fruit filled mini tarts. i am a dessert person all the way and a white chocolate lover. my biggest problem is that i like to bake so much that people around me can't eat fast enough to keep up. i have a baking blog at http://BUTTERCREAMBARBIE.blogspot.com
