Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and space about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.

  6. Spread filling between 2 cooled cookies.

Recipe Note

I made these for a Christmas party this year and have been asked to make them again for 2 other parties. The perfect combination of chocolate and peppermint. I added a little green food coloring into the cream cheese frosting for a festive touch.
