Rum raisin cream cheese sandwich cookies

I think I am kind of alcoholic. I always choose rum raisin ice cream at the ice cream shop. I prefer whisky chocolate. I like to use wine or beer to cook meat.

I always keep stock of rum infused dried fruit (raisin and cranberry ) in a jar. I keep to refill dried fruit and rum after use it.

Combination of cream cheese icing with rum raisin between short bread cookies.
This is one of popular modern Japanese dessert recipe.

I made it one bite small size. I add less sugar in the filling. Because the raisin is quite sweet.
Cream melt in my mouth. Yummy cookies.
