1 teaspoon powdered sugar
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1 teaspoon cherry liquid
1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

Recipe
DECORATION
Maraschino cherries, fresh fruit, decorator frosting or candy hearts
Heat oven to 350 F. Spoon and shape heaping teaspoonfuls of well-
chilled cookie dough into balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased
cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 F. for 10 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool
slightly; remove from cookie sheets with spatula. Cool completely.
In small bowl, combine all filling ingredients; blend well. Spread
about 1 tablespoon filling on bottom of cooled cookie. Top with
another cookie, bottom side down, to form sandwich. Repeat with
remaining cookies.
In large bowl, combine all glaze ingredients; blend at low speed
until moistened. Beat at high speed until smooth. Add 1 to 2
tablespoons additional water if glaze is too thick.
Arrange filled cookies on wire rack over 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
Spoon glaze evenly over tops and sides of cookies. Glaze that drips
off can be reused. Let stand until glaze is
dry. Decorate as desired with maraschino cherries. Store in
refrigerator.
18 sandwich cookies
TIP: *Glaze should be thin enough to flow down sides of cookies and
drip into pan below. If glaze is too thick, there will not be enough
to cover all cookies.
