Creme de Menthe Cheesecake Cookies

1 tube (16 1/2 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
6 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 large egg
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 cups Andes creme de menthe baking chips

green candy coating disks and sprinkles, optional

1.) Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, beat cookie dough and flour until blended and dough is softened.  Beat in egg.  Add cream cheese, beat until smooth.  Stir in baking chips. (dough will be soft)

2.) Drop dough by tablespoons 2" apart onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake 11-13 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown.  Cool 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

3.)  If decorating cookies, melt candy coating in a microwave.  Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; insert a small round pastry tip.  Fill bag with melted coating.  Pipe designs onto cookies decorate with sprinkles.

To Make Ahead:  Bake and cool cookies as directed.  Freeze for up to 1 month.  Several hours before serving proceed with finishing cookies as directed.

These sound delicious and Andes makes these little chocolate mint candies in other flavors as well.
