I'm not a big fan of pecans, but I still really enjoyed these cookies. The cream cheese filling is delicious and the cookies are perfectly sweet.

I had some trouble getting the dough to come together. I ended up adding a little more butter and then it was fine.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
