  1. I have an heirloom cookie press as well! I love the cream cheese in this recipe. It gives a little more flavor and makes the cookies creamier.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm always looking for new ideas to try out in the kitchen; especially ones that are inexpensive and easy to double. I'm feeding 3 boys (2 of them teens) and my husband. When I'm not cooking for my crew; I'm usually outside working in my yard or my family and I are out camping, hiking, just enjoying the beauty of our state.
