I found these cookies in an old Butter Flavor Crisco Cookie Collection back in 1989 & have been a believer ever since. Every time I make these there are new converts that want the recipe. They are quick & easy---with the added bonus of tasting great!!!!

These cookies are REALLY good! The cream cheese makes them tangy. I substituted milk chocolate chips for the nuts -- delicious!
