******We have experimented with a variety dessert using this recipe.
Cream Cheese Filling
2 - 8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs



You can make the above cookie recipe and 3/4 in a 9x13 pan. Then put the cream cheese filling over it, then sprinkle the remaining cookie dough over and bake 350 for 35 min.
This will also make an 8x8 and a pan of 6 muffin cups. All excellent.

I have used half recipe of cream cheese filling with the 8x8 and muffin cups and turns out great too. Also i have used maple syrup instead of sugar for the cookies. Turns out fine, but not as great as sticking with the recipe.

ENJOY!!!!!
