Well, these are certainly easy enough!!! Should the cream cheese be room temperature before I cream it with the butter??? These are definately going onto my "cookies to make" list this year!!! ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)
Got any more easy, but fancy looking cookie recipes???

Can I just shove the kiss into the middle??? I have longer nails and I think that would be kind of gross to get the cookie under the nail!!! ![[Razz]](im/tongue.gif)

How-ever you can get the kiss in the middle as long as you don't squish the balls!!!! ![[Eek!]](im/eek.gif)
Dough under the nails is not good!!!![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)

pecans would be just as good I don't know about using the almond extract tho maybe vanilla instead unless you have pecan extract just put them in your food processer and gind them fine.

Jenn...if you have a mini muffin pan...make up some of the mini pecan pies (tassies they are called) they fly off the plate and would be a great way to use up your pecans.
And...just as a rule of thumb....you should alawys set your cream cheese out and use it at room temp unless a recipe specifically calls for it to be cold.
If you are in to "pretty" cookies...I make the peanut butter thumbprints...and cut the minin Reeses Peanut butter cups in half, lay i/2 down on each cookie...them pipe a red drop flower & leaf on each one...it looks like a pot with a poinsettia in it...very festive!

Yeah, I make ALOT of things with cream cheese and the majority of it calls for the cream cheese to be softend. I just wanted to make sure. I've made pecan tassies before...pretty easy. This year, I'm making mini pumpkin pecan muffins. I'm just using a regular recipe and putting the batter in my mini pans and then will top each with a pecan half. Thought that would be easier than trying to fit full-sized muffins in a cookie tin!! I tried for 2 days to find canned pumpkin...I can't find it! What aisle is it in!?? Canned fruit? Canned veggies?? I even looked where the pie filling is!

It should be in the pie filling area...they must have just been out Jenn because this time of the year is when they sell the most canned pumkin. I accidentally picked up a can of prepared pumkin pie filling instead of just canned "pumpkin" so I went ahead and made a pumkin pie out of it...NASTY...we ended up throwing the whole pie away...it was aweful. I know to look MUCH closer now!
They also may have it in a special holiday baking section. Wal~Mart always sets up a special isle in the middle of the store for baking items during the holidays...
