Notes
- Chill the filling Cold filling prevents spreading during baking and maintains the stuffed center.
- Don't overfill Use only one teaspoon of filling per cookie to prevent leaking.

- Room temperature ingredients Softened butter and cream cheese mix more easily for better texture.
- Watch baking time Remove cookies when edges are set but centers look slightly underdone.
