mrsdambrosio cream cheese used to be sold in 3 oz packages as well. I haven't checked the dairy case in a while to see if it's still available in that smaller package but it was as of last year.

Are the butter, cream cheese and flour measurements correct? It notes 3 oz for cream cheese when a normal packet is 8 oz. The consistency of mine seemed dry...

We made this recipe for my sisters baby shower and it was the first thing that vanished and someone even wanted the recipe!

Coconut and cho I love them both! So this is great tasting. Some cookies crumbed in the baking. I though the cookies were rather small and i got exactly the amount recipe said.
