My thoughts:
I had about leftover guava glue (easily works life inward the "Latin" or "International" department of the grocery shop either inward plastic or inward a tin) that I had served amongst cheese for 1 of our "snackies" dinners as well as didn't know what to create amongst it. It is super tasty also real thick as well as mucilaginous as well as thus it wasn't similar I was but going to spread it on breadstuff as well as telephone band it a day. Guava glue as well as cheese is a classic combination as well as 1 of my favorite uses of it, pastelitos, combines cream cheese as well as guava glue inward a flaky turnover. So expert but a footling fussy as well as trickier to pack for lunches which was 1 of my goals. So I took that regard as well as transformed it into these easy, real portable thumbprint cookies. The cookie is real tender (and slightly craggy) thank you lot to the cream cheese. The guava glue took forever to melt (okay, similar 10 minutes) but when it did, it was the perfect consistency for spooning into the cookies. Pro-tip: the guava glue is basically molten saccharide at this request as well as thus piece of job 2 spoons (one to scoop as well as 1 to scrape the guava goo off the other spoon) to create total the cookies if it doesn't drip off the spoon easily--I had to create this for the 2d batch because fifty-fifty on low, the glue started to thicken upward again. The destination final result is a not-too sweet cookie that is total of juicy guava flavour as well as mellow cream cheese cookie.
