This recipe is part of our Christmas eve buffet. They have been called sinful by many friends and relatives. They never last long.—Loraine E. Meyer, Bend, Oregon
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
filling:
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
dash salt
60 miniature milk chocolate kisses
5 tablespoons chopped pecans
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, butter, vanilla, brown sugar and salt until smooth; set aside. Shape dough into thirty 1-in. balls; press onto the bottom and up the sides of greased miniature muffin cups.
