Cookies:
1 cup butter softened
4 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. maple flavouring (or vanilla extract)
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
Filling:
30 caramels
6 oz. cream cheese softened.
In a large bowl cream the butter, 4oz cream cheese and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Blend in the egg yolk and maple flavouring. Blend in the flour a little at a time until combined.
Chill the dough in the fridge 3-4 hours until firmer and easy to work with. I put mine in the freezer squished flat in a bag for about an hour.
To make filling, melt 30 caramels in a small bowl in the microwave. Mine took about 2 minutes on high to melt.
Stir in the 6oz of cream cheese and keep stirring until smooth.
Divide dough into two portions.
Roll out dough between sheets of waxed paper or parchment paper until you get a rough rectangle about 1/4" thick.
Spread half the caramel filling over dough to about 1/2" from edge.
Roll up dough as tightly as you can using the parchment to help you roll the dough if it is too sticky.
Wrap dough log in parchment and chill for 3-4 hours in fridge or about an hour in freezer until very firm.
Repeat with second portion of dough and caramel filling.
You will end up with two dough logs.
Slice cookies from dough logs using a sharp knife in 1/2" slices.
Place slices onto a greased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart and bake at 350F for 12-14 minutes or until bottoms and edges are light brown.
This makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies, depending on thickness.
Found this recipe in a Taste of Home cookie magazine.

[@OMGshinyobject]

But was it happy cream cheese? I'm here to ask the important questions.

[@Crow_Smith]

It had a face so I think so! Unless you meant the cream cheese in the caramel ... I think so still! Since the first one was a half, they probably were together!

[@Nannerchan]

You should do a Top 10 listing of your best cookies and pop the links. It will also be good for your channel.

[@MicheMunro]

I love your videos Tammy I get so excited when I see that you've uploaded a new one. I really appreciate all the hard work that you put in to your content. Sometimes I think that viewers might forget that you are not just a youtuber - you have a full-time job and a family! Sharing some love and appreciation for your lovely videos.

[@misseli922]

Damn Why am I watching this when im on a diet :(

[@farah3189]

Lol thats y it says the diet free zone

[@SOLsingoutloud1200]

[@ZetamoonAmos]

(sits beside you) same boat...and I JUST said that half way through the video

[@markuslundqvist1569]

Imogenisreallyboring u look like 14, why are u on a diet?

[@anny6375]

Markus Lundqvist How do you know if that's Imogen's real face? What if that IS her real face, but is actually 18, but looks REALLY young? My sister is 18, and she looks like a goddamn 15 year old. But without her glasses, she looks like she's 13..

[@incognitobonita]

AWESOME cookie! My family loves them...I have made these cookies twice in a week! Will be adding to my xmas cookie gift boxes this year...Thanks!

[@laurendg]

Thanks for making this awesome video! I will totally try these for Christmas!

[@Shasarazad]

These are going into my to do list. Thank you.

[@megan-546]

They look gorgeous!

[@y0ungpark]

That smiling cream cheese made me so happy:-)

[@lisaschaevers7879]

I love that you immediately start cooking !!!!

[@lisaschaevers7879]

and don't talk for 4 minutes :)

[@SarsIncorporated]

I made these but vanilla and chocolate and I always cut and bake because the book doesn't say but definitely from now on gonna freeze it after its rolled! Thanks!

[@AddieMiller01]

these look AMAZING

[@momof2momof2]

yummmm ! I have been enjoying watching your videos . You do them very well

[@blackdahlia1110]

Aww....Yoyomax makes happy food! The cream cheese pad was smiling at us :-)

[@wolfsf2012]

This has nothing to do with cookies (or even the season) but I was wondering if you have a recipe for soft pretzel dough that won't puff out to much. I can't recall if you're in America or Canada but Little Caesars in America has this pretzel pizza out and I would like try to make my own since it's only out for a limited time but didn't know about the dough...which is pretzel.

[@TisNessie]

I just made them and the cream cheese wouldn't melt completely. It was in clumps Dx plus the rolls wouldn't keep it's shape in the freezer and now they're deformed... I just hope they taste good. I trust they do since I've made so many things from your channel and they've turned out fine and delicious.

[@Persian1313]

It's look great! I'm totally adding cream cheese and caramels on my next grocery list! I have everything else already, because I make desserts so often. Well... I don't have maple flavoring, but I'm gonna use vanilla instead, since I'm not fond of maple flavoring, I prefer pure maple syrup... And caramel and vanilla go very well together too anyway.

[@drinsey143]

So making these sor Christmas!!! I will make red and green fillings for Christmas colors. Thanks Tammy

[@RoseMaryBowen]

They look so good!!!

[@angelanguyen3306]

Ahhh they remind me of vanilla cake rolls! Amazing recipe I can't wait to try not out soon thanks a lot:)

[@c2bienaime]

yummy. That get me drooling

[@hammertime104]

wow! looks awesome!

[@wildheart5]

Beautiful cookies. I bet they are just delicious. I was thinking about you yesterday wondering if you are doing your Christmas cakes yet. LOL I miss hearing from you. I know you are super busy, but a vid would be great!! xo

[@kamiro-nanayako]

I can imagine the caramel filling with a little bit of salt for salted caramel... YUMMY!!

[@Easymealpreprecipes]

The smiley face butter made me smile! These look delicious. I'm obsessed with caramel. I'm glad I recently found your channel! Just curious, what does yoyomax mean?

[@EliLee]

looks delicious

[@MidniteSnacker]

This is my first time on your channel, loved the video! I'm from northern Ontario as well! I could imagine how amazing the caramel tasted, it looked quite similar to caramel made from condensed milk thats been boiled in the can for hours if you know what I mean, mmm now I just need an occasion to make these!

[@wolfsf2012]

Aww you made a little smiley face in the butter! Why didn't I notice that the first time 'round. So cute :)

[@shelloddy]

That's happy cream cheese :)

[@FroggyMann]

You need to have your own kids cooking show! :D I'd watch it

[@sofiasundkvist]

I am baking these at the moment, but I changed it a little bit. I put some melted chocolate and cocoa in the dough, my caramel is dulce de leche, and I toasted some chopped pecans that I am going to sprinkle over the caramel too. Hope it works out!

[@cmtb8202]

I want to try this one!

[@kevico2]

I had to watch this twice. This is an awesome recipe. This will definitely be part of my christmas sweets! Thanks Tammy for sharing!

[@meredithlouise3415]

I feel like you could add cream cheese to anything and it would be amazing!!

[@santiyabell]

I agree with poster(s) requesting a top 15 cookie playlist!!!

[@katherinegoguen]

I love that they look like cinnamon rolls :)

[@sophiaverbree5038]

they look realy nice

[@MsLocoGal]

I have to try these

[@ndlz1]

Get the mop, I'm standing in a puddle of saliva. So yummy!

[@talgrossman5826]

Is there any alternatives that I can use in replacement of cream cheese?

[@Steltunes]

I always wince a little bit when I see that happy cream cheese get smooshed D:

[@alunalilly3455]

Hello yoyomax 12, I need some help making candy corn into frosting...or finding a way to eat them not whole

[@frejalarsson722]

Looks really delicious! I would probably put some salt in the caramel filling though, nothing tastes better than salty caramel.. Or salt in more or less any cookie i think. :)

[@MissDatherinePierce]

could i also you use cream instead of cream cheese, which my father can't eat?

[@Slyny100]

Hi Tammy! Just wondering, since there is cream cheese in the dough and filling, do the cookies need to be refrigerated? Thanks, can't wait to make these for Thanksgiving!

[@MsMandysong]

What grocery store do you usually shop at?

[@takilupin]

What kind of caramel did you use? Is it toffee caramel?

[@andrearox5959]

At my store they sell Carmel cream cheese, it looks almost exactly like that, would that work too?

[@nyikomaswanganyi5983]

Hi. Does your caramel mixture become stiff if you put in the fridge for a few hours? I'm trying to making a more liquid-like caramel(just like your mixture) that will remain liquid-like for hours

[@hellieybelley]

Look delicious, biscuits/cookies never work out when I try to make them but might have a go. Wondering though are the caramels toffee or fudge? We don't have sweets just called 'caramel' in uk. They looked like fudge on video but can't be sure. Also if I made some caramel sauce would that work (brown sugar, cream and butter)? I'm thinking it wouldn't set but as I don't know what a caramel is thought I'd ask x love your channel 😜

[@foxbat7311]

Ohh.... god your voice is sweet Wish my teacher sounded like you do :)

[@xxashmariexx3190]

I love your videos much😘😘😘

[@CatValentine1995]

When you have grankids and they visit, they're going to be so well fed (:

[@Dsaw21]

Ooohhhhh eeeemmmmm geeeee! I could use a batch or five of these...

[@5h.obsessed844]

[@buglady58]

Love the disclaimer about not tasting the filling ;-)

[@hazeltan9839]

Make Matcha green tea swiss roll cake please!!

[@iqbaalmohammed8974]

can you make nutella brownies!!!!!! please please please!!!!!! I love your videos

[@Yep-uj1or]

Pls can u give the ingredients in grams so it's easy for me,

[@thereseocsan2330]

Should the CreamCheese really need to be happy so it can work?

[@SissaCait623]

If I were to add pumpkin purée to this or your icebox cookies how much would I need to add and what else would have to change?

[@yoyomax12]

No clue sorry, I suggest you google "pumpkin icebox cookies" and see what you can get.

[@anti7481]

i love your vidoe

[@summerhizzouse]

what's the story behind happy cream cheese anyway? :)

[@LadiieTRIPPstuh]

I don't understand why but my caramel filling becomes all pale and lumpy looking :( It doesn't look even or smooth like yours. I'm wondering if it's because there's too much cream cheese or the cream cheese is too cold ..

[@sobekflakmonkey]

you should make a cook book.

[@ItzOmgACookie]

These look amazing so I had to give them a try. The dough is setting in the fridge and I'm getting ready to finish the cookies but I was wondering would it still be good if I left them overnight and ate them tomorrow? Thank you for the cookies! Hopefully you can reply soon.

[@yoyomax12]

No problem leaving them in the fridge overnight

[@mukwah1111]

These look incredible Tammy! I swear I can almost taste them off the screen. I am looking for non-nut recipes this year. Pecans are $19.99 at Bulk Barn this year. Ughhh Have a wonderful holiday season.

[@yoyomax12]

Pecans are crazy expensive, omg. These are a very good cookie, I will have to make these again soon come to think of it :)

[@mukwah1111]

I am going to make these today to the rolled log stage then bake them off tomorrow (Fri.) or Sat. to share with family. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for a fab recipe Tammy!

[@vanillamartini]

Hey! I love these cookies and have been thinking of experimenting with them/the filling. Would the filling work as a center to muffins/cupcakes? Or even drizzled as a topping? And one more thing: any way the make the cookie itself chocolatey? So it's both chocolate and caramel?

[@vanillamartini]

I want the filling the same though... just maybe add cocoa powder to the dough? But not sure I'd make the correct adjustments

[@vanillamartini]

Will do! Thanks.

[@cargopax]

loblaws should sponsor you.So much product placement for them!

[@bexyevans777]

Those look amazing! 😀 Hehe, did any of you see that smiley face at the beginning? 😅

[@johannalilja8482]

Hi yoyomax! I really like your vids! About a year ago i saw your canada cake recepy and i tried it. It didn't look as good as youres but i got happy with it anyways :) i live in sweden so it was EXTREAMLY HARD too finde that box cake you used i was searching for it for about a week or two :') anyways, i wonderd if you could show your face in any of your vids! I'd be really happy if you responded! Have a greate day - Johanna 12 y/o from sweden

[@johannalilja8482]

***** nope

[@carmellimcaoco4994]

What can I substitute for the maple stuff?

[@MallePoulsen]

You could just use plain old vanilla

[@gogopoweraj2778]

Make pumpkin pie swirls!

[@pinkypink3830]

Can you show us how to make cookie houses but not using gingerbread recipe? Please?

[@singe0diabolique]

Yooooo've got me to thinking. I'm going to make the millionaires' shortbread but use THIS filling instead of the one in that recipe.

[@geahescobedo2532]

What is your favorite cookie out of all the ones you have made?

[@TheBrowsern]

How old is your son? -Btw i love your videos!

[@BooksAnonymous]

What's your favorite cookie? Is it on your playlist? :D

[@VickiSchmidt]

*raises hand* I probably missed something, but what about the other half of the caramel filling? Didn't you only spread half of it out on the dough? (Confused) :)

[@MallePoulsen]

SHe cut the dough into two bits because it's easier to work with, one half of the filling for one part of the dough, the other part of the filling for the other part of the dough ;-)

[@VickiSchmidt]

Oooooh! See I did miss somthing! Thank you :D

[@hjhdijisnsdnxjN54]

you american are amazing love the usa i want live in america but i live in italy :(

[@teerajoy5342]

[@AndrianaHeracleous]

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone so, what would be your actual all time favorite cookie recipe? :3

[@1bjwlsn]

Cookies with caramel what could be better.

[@Sare13ful]

I love you ♥♥

[@lauthesun]

Je pensais que c'était des pets-de-soeurs au début :P

[@annawessels5601]

How did you come up with that username ?

[@coolspets]

Maybe yoyo was like hi hi or something like that XD and Max is her son's name and the number 12 was his age at the time she made her channel :)

[@MelissaBearTv]

I always assumed that it started out as max's channel (or at least his username) and then she started posting videos on it and never changed the name. I'm probably wrong but that's my thought.

[@poopsicles50]

I believe she's said quite a few times before, in older videos. But I think Yoyo is her mum/grandmothers nickname or something, max is her sons name and 12 is her favourite number. I could be wrong but something along them lines :)

[@harpybarpy251]

I ran out of happy cream cheese! :(

[@Sare13ful]
