Pat, these are simple, and relatively easy to make. I made mine 'sweet', as opposed to 'savory', by using a strawberry cream cheese. I shaped into logs and froze for a bit, to harden the 'logs' up some. I did reduce the recipe, by half, and sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving. They were lovely as a dessert; I could even see them on a pastry tray for breakfast! I will try them with an herb and garlic cream cheese soon! Thanks so much for sharing, Pat!

These are good! You can make whatever flavor you want depending on the cream cheese you choose. I made some with chive and onion cream cheese. they were crispy on the outside and the cream cheese melted just enough that they were creamy not runny. I sprinkled a little bit (probably 1/2 tsp) poppy seeds on them. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
