What You Need

pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

3/4

cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened

cup sugar

tsp. vanilla

2-1/4

cups flour

1/2

tsp. baking soda

squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Make It

BEAT cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Cover. Refrigerate 30 min.

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Divide dough in half. Add melted chocolate to one half of dough; mix until well blended. Divide each half into two equal parts. (You should have two white and two chocolate pieces.)

ROLL one of the white and one of the chocolate dough pieces into 10x8-inch rectangle on floured surface. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Place rolled-out chocolate dough on rolled-out white dough; press gently to form even layer. Starting from the short side, roll up dough tightly to form a log; wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough. Refrigerate 1 hour.

CUT dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 min. or lightly browned. Let stand 2 min. before transferring to wire racks. Cool completely.

All of my coworkers enjoyed this recipe both those with sweet teeth and those who don't like a lot of sweets. One of them, who didn't believe there was sugar in them, even asked for the recipe. I would definitely make these again.

The dough was difficult to handle and roll. The final product looks nothing like the picture. I tried this recipe for a cookie exchange and they ended up in the trash. The cookie lacks flavor and looks unappealing... Stay away from this mess!!!

i was very disappointed with this recipe. the dough was too sticky to work with as a result my batch looked NOTHING like the picture on the site. i was looking forward to adding this recipe to my cookie giveaway this year but needless to say it didn't make the cut. absolutely not up to kraft foods standards.

Was a good recipe. I made some substitutions though-I used 12 oz of cream cheese, and I also used chocolate chips melted instead of the bakers chocolate. Was alot of work for a little amount of cookies. Overall, a good new recipe.

Tasteless! I've never rated a recipe before but I needed to warn others. I won't even give these away.

Although this cookie looked great, it had absolutely zero taste. I would not advice anyone to make this cookie unless they planed on either dipping it in chocolate or frosting it, and even then I'm doubtful it would be edible. I've made a lot of recipes from this site and this is the first I've been unhappy with.

I have never rated a recipe this low before. These were aweful. I don't know if I did something wrong but they weren't good at all. I had so much trouble trying to pick up the chocolate dough to place on the white one. It just kept falling apart everywhere. After they were done, they were really just nasty.

Sort of disappointed in these, though the picture of them (from the magazine) looked great. They needed a LOT of flour on the board, for them to be able to hold together enough to roll out. Also had a hard time getting them to roll up properly. Baking time took longer than stated, and I still wasn't sure if they were done yet. Also the outcome wasn't very chocolat-y. However, I would have to say that sampling the dough itself was the best part!
