I make these often at Christmastime, but they're a winner for summer parties, too. Chilling the cookies before you dip them into chocolate is important because it firms up the filling. —Amy Sauerwalt, Columbia, Maryland

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
