I made these last year for Christmas and they were a big hit. I do think they need more filling so definitely make more than what the recipe calls for. If you put more batter in the middle than what the recipe says, they turn out more cheesecake like. I like the idea of adding an egg and making it more of a cheesecake batter, too, but haven't tried that yet. I brought them to my office, and they were a big hit! Super easy to make and makes a lot.

If you are having trouble with the filling melting, chill the dough and filling before baking. Another option is to bake the gingerbread dough and add the filling after the cookie dough is cooked.

I have made these cookies 4 times. The most successful way was to use the gingerbread as a crust for the mini cheesecakes. I added an egg to the cream cheese to make a cheesecake batter. I've made them like thumbprint cookies and the cream cheese dissolved even with the egg in it. The cream cheese dissolved when it was only cream cheese and powdered sugar and vanilla, too. We need more explanation of how to on this one.

Same results as previous comment. Nothing but a gooey mess in the middle. If I had thought about it a little before making this recipe, the filling is mostly powdered sugar.

Followed the directions to the letter and they turned out awful!!! The cream cheese filling dissolved into the cookie as it oooled and completely dissapeared leaving behind a gooey looking mess!
