Strawberry & Cream Cheese Sandwich Cookies

What a clever idea! I used this cream cheese filling with some homemade sugar cookies I prepared and served to the kids on Valentine's Day as "Valentine's Day Sandwich Sugar Cookies". They were a huge hit with my teenager and my 4yr old! I put the cream cheese in my kitchenaid mixer to make it nice and fluffy and I also used reduced fat cream cheese. It was delicious! My teenager suggested spreading the leftover filling on a bagel for breakfast. She loved it! Thank you!

Okay, here was our situation: a dairy- (and other things) allergic girl, going to a tea party at a friend's house, where the menu was little frou-frou-y cakes and other snacks that were totally off-limits for her. We made this filling dairy-free by substituting in soy cream cheese, replaced the strawberry jam with raspberry, and dropped the vanilla wafers. After blending the filling (used a mixer), we sandwiched it between soft white bread that we cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter. Very cute, very good, and it looks nice on a tray! The filling also makes a _great_ dip for apples, and is wonderful spread on bagels. It stores well in the 'fridge. Do we miss dairy spreads? Not anymore! Thanks, Chef FIFI, for a versatile recipe!

This is only so-so in my opinon. My familt thought it was okay but they wouldn't request these again.

OMG!! The filling is wonderful. I didn't use the vanilla wafer, but instead spread the filling in sliced petite croissants and garnished w/a sliced strawberry. Fabulous filling or spread for bagels, toast, thumprint cookies, etc.

These were a simple little sweet treat to whip up in the afternoon. I first made these as open faced sandwiches just by frosting the cookies with the cream cheese mixture and sprinkling with nonpareils. The second time, I prepared the sandwiches, as instructed in the recipe (except forgetting the dusting of powdered sugar). Both were excellent served with a glass of icy milk. However, I think that I liked the cookies better just frosted and not sandwiched. Thanks for the idea.
