Mini-Chip Crescent Cookies
This cookie is an absolute necessity on any cookie platter that I put together. It's the only cookie recipe my family wants for Christmas, so I don't even make decorated cutout cookies anymore. —Norene Laessig, Stratford, Wisconsin

I made these today, and they were delicious! The coconut, vanilla and almond extracts, plus the toasted coconut makes them fantastic.I'm giving them 4 stars however, due to some issues with the recipe.The dough was extremely sticky, and hard to shape into crescents, even after chilling it overnight. The crescents did not keep their shape while baking either. I had to push them back into shape with the back of a spoon, midway through baking.I also found the baking time to be way off. They needed another 10 minutes, to bake all the way through. Perhaps because of the cream cheese?I found they did not brown well at 350 degrees either. The first batch looked pale and underdone, even though they were baked through.I baked the second batch at 375 and that gave them a nice browned color.I would bake them again because of the excellent taste, but would increase the baking temp and baking time.
