Filled Cookies - A perfect sweet indulgence for any holiday

Filled Cookies

1 stick Butter, softened

¼ teasp. Salt

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup sifted confectioner’s sugar

1 teasp. Vanilla

Combine. Roll teaspoons of dough into balls. (If mixture does not cling together, add 1 Tblsp. [or 2] of milk). Place balls on lightly greased cookie sheet and indent tops. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. They should not brown.

Prepare filling (below) and put on cookies while warm.

Filling

3 oz. cream cheese – room temp

1 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar

1 teasp. Vanilla

½ cup chopped pecans

½ cup coconut

Icing

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate bits

2 Tblsp. Water

2 Tblsp. Butter

Melt over low heat. Don’t overcook. Add ½ cup sifted confectioner’s sugar. Pour over cooled, filled cookies.

(It helps if you put the cookies on wax paper while you pour the chocolate topping over them. It makes cleanup a lot easier.)
