Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups powdered sugar ((approx.))
  • 2 ounces cream cheese ((I used reduced fat))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste ((extract can be substituted))
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup orange marmalade ((approx.))
  • 1 batch Simply Perfect Chocolate Sugar Cookies
  • melted semisweet chocolate, (for garnish (optional))

Instruction

  • Combine the powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla bean paste, and salt in the bowl of a mixer, mixing on low speed until the mixture resembles a stiff dough. (You may need to add a little more or less powdered sugar to get the proper consistency.)
  • Scoop about ½ teaspoon of filling, and roll between palms to form a ball. Place on the bottom side of one chocolate sugar cookie.
  • Using the back of a ¼ teaspoon measure, press a deep well in the center of the filling.
  • Drop about ¼ teaspoon of orange marmalade into the well, and sandwich another cookie on top, pressing gently but taking care not to crack either cookie.
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired.
