I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but I actually really enjoyed these cookies. The cream cheese flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chopped walnuts with dried cranberries. They turned out great!

The cookies didn't come out as chewy as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked them.

I found the cookies to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
