Halloween Cheesecake Cookies
If Mis7Up created a "monster" with her cheesecake cookies, then my Halloween version fits right in. Original recipe was wonderful but I am neither a big raspberry fan nor a fan of white chocolate, which I used as a substitute in the original recipe—I won't do that again. Whether you choose the raspberry or the orange, this is a yummy, soft cookie.
