Would make this again.
i went in search of a recipe that called for cream cheese because i had tried to make a large batch of cream cheese balls but they didn't work out. I didnt add sugar because i already had added icing sugar to the cream cheese, added 1/2 box of graham wafer crumbs. The other recipe i started with asked for those muticolored cherries you find in fruitcake so these were in the mix already. I patted them down with a wet fork and added bakers decorative sugar to the tops before i put into the over.. worked out great!
I would have added vanilla but other than that good! I LOVED that the recipe didnt ask for eggs because my son is allergic to eggs so i didn't need to worry about finding alternatives to needing eggs. Thanks for sharing this recipe! 4 stars

I love the recipe and highly recommend adding the crushed cornflakes. It totally completes the cookie! Everyone loves them 5 stars

Would make this again.
These cokies are fabulous. I use 4 oz of cream cheese and scoop with a small scooper or spoon. Rolling is impossible. Easy to make a double batch and taste great if you have to make them without the nuts 5 stars
