Description:
These buttery-tasting cookies are so delicious and rich… with the addition of cream cheese, they seem to just melt in your mouth… a definite winner.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Icing sugar for coating
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined. |
| 3 | Beat in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. |
| 4 | In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until evenly mixed. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring until a dough forms. |
| 5 | Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix; the dough will be crumbly but should hold together when pressed. |
| 6 | Using about a tablespoon of dough at a time, shape the dough into 2-inch logs, forming them into finger-like shapes. |
| 7 | Place the shaped cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking. |
| 8 | Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are just lightly browned around the edges. Be careful not to overbake; you want them to remain tender. |
| 9 | Once baked, remove the warm cookies from the baking sheet and roll them in icing sugar to coat them completely. The warmth of the cookies will help the sugar adhere. |
| 10 | Transfer the coated cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, they are ready to enjoy! |
