Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 drops yellow food color
1 egg
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese -- softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 dozen (about) large semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Beat butter, sugar, vanilla, food color, egg and cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
Heat oven to 375º. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Make 3 cuts with scissors in top of each ball about three-fourths of the way through to make 6 wedges. Spread wedges apart slightly to form flower petals (cookies will flatten as they bake).
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set and edges begin to brown.
Immediately press 1 chocolate chip in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
Cut balls from top into 6 wedges about 3/4 way through dough.
