Chocolate-Cherry Sandwich Cookies

Directions

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth; stir in cherries and extract. Spread 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture on bottoms of each of half of the wafers; cover with remaining wafers. Refrigerate 1 hour or until filling is firm.
• Dip sandwiches in candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; sprinkle with nonpareils. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
