If you love cheesecake, which I dare say could be most of the world, then you will love these little cheesecake cookies! The cheesecake in the middle with the added fruit topping are just enough to turn these cookies into an extra special treat. Anytime I make these, I am always asked for the recipe. Great for potlucks, baby showers, bridal showers, visiting teaching, or as a reward for doing housework.
