Towards the end of 2011, we had a recipe swap for holiday cookies/treats and my good friend Sarah, of A Taste of Home Cooking asked me to be her “pinch baker” for these little goodies, when she was not thrilled with her results and thought it might be due to missing chocolate chips. Since they were her swap recipe, I decided to postpone blogging them on my site until a little later. I love a good bite-sized treat – in fact, I prefer them – so I was more than happy to step up and help my friend. They are sweet, but not overly sweet with a nice topping of cream cheese and chocolate chips…yum! A perfect little bite-sized treat, perfect for a cold winter day!
