Recipe Roundup: Cream Cheese Hershey Bar Cookies

I saw this recipe about a month or so ago on Pinterest and have been meaning to make these cookies for about 2 weeks now. But then life happened… Tonight, after working late and realizing that I needed a recipe for Thursday, I flew into action and hoped for the best. Thankfully, the baking gods were on my side and these turned out yummy.  They’re lighter than a chocolate chip cookie, but similar in texture, and oh so creamy. Enjoy!
