How To Make cream cheese filled cookies

1
In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape into two 12 inch rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

2
Unwrap and cut into 1-inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on greased baking sheet. Bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately make an indentation in the center of each cookie using the end of a wooden spoon handle. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3
In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Place 2 teaspoonfuls in the center of each cookie. Let stand until set. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Store the cookies in the refrigerator.
