* Incredible Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies *

There is a great company called The Prepared Pantry that I just recently heard about. They are mostly an online company but they do have one store--here in Rigby Idaho of all places! They sell some very yummy things but my favorite product they sell are their raspberry baking tidbits. Basically they are like chocolate chips...but raspberry. Their flavor is delicious!! I finally ventured out and bought some raspberry tidbits (and cinnamon chips--also like chocolate chips but cinnamon) the other day and using this the recipe I found here, made some yum-o cookies. They are easy (because they call for a pouch cookie mix but you could easily make your own sugar cookie dough and add the cream cheese and tidbits to it) and will disappear quickly if your house is like mine. You can order these raspberry tidbits online at http://www.preparedpantry.com/ or come and visit us and we'll take you there in person :)

* Incredible Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies * 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 (17.5 ounce) pouch sugar cookie mix
2/3 cup raspberry baking chips

Preheat oven to 350*. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (I just sprayed mine with cooking spray). In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy with an electric mixer, then beat in the egg until thoroughly combined. Mix in the cookie mix, then stir in the raspberry chips. Drop the dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets with a tablespoon or small scoop. Lightly pat the cookies to flatten. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden, 9 to 12 minutes. Cool before serving.
