Directions: |
Directions:With beater, mix together cream cheese and butter. Mix in flour. Divide dough into about 24 small balls. Press each ball into the bottom and sides of a small muffin pan.
Stir together the filling ingredients and nuts. Spoon into center of each small pastry lined cup, filling about 3/4 of the way as the filling will puff up a bit. Bake at 350º for 15 to 18 minutes. Reduce heat to 250º and bake an additional 10 minutes. Cool before removing. May need to gently loosen sides with a sharp knife, then gently lift out using a fork to help lift or may invert, whichever works best for you. |

Notes: This makes only about 24...your grandma Garruto gave me a second recipe for larger amounts that was similar although it also added coconut to filling. I think this recipe is a tad better (both are very good). The other recipe was as follows:
crust: 3 sticks butter, 3 cups flour, 8 oz. cream cheese
filling: 3 tbsp. melted butter, 3 eggs, 3 cups chopped nuts, 1 cup coconut, 2 tsp. vanilla, 2 cups packed brown sugar (I added a tbsp. orange juice concentrate). Both recipes are good.
Always make this for Christmas. Try to give them away quickly as this is a recipe I like to bake but also eat!!
