CREAM CHEESE COOKIES 
2 c. all purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. Rice Krispies cereal, crushed to fine crumbs
2/3 c. butter, softened
2 (3 oz. each) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. orange juice

Stir together flour, baking powder, salt and 1/4 cup of the crushed Rice Krispies cereal. Set aside.

Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Add orange juice, mixing well. Stir in flour mixture. Dough will be stiff.

Drop by level measuring tablespoons into remaining crushed cereal. Roll to coat. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with fork.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Yields about 4 dozen, 2 inches in diameter.
