Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla together until fluffy. Add the

coloring and the conf. sugar until smooth. Blend in 3 T of the cnady

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and for each cookie pinch off a

teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the depression. Pinch the
dough back together and roll it back into a ball. Repeat the process
with the remaining dough and filling. Place the balls on a nonstick
cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 10-12 minutes. Do not
