Introduction
This was the result of an over-burdened fridge and pantry - and I couldn't have been happier with the results! Cream cheese in place of more traditional butter gives these a great "body" without the grease, and the hint of orange extract makes you go "hmm"! These cookies are so varied in texture that you'll be reaching for another before you know it... and why not?
