Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Confectioners’ sugar (for rolling)
- Melted chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare an ungreased baking sheet.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Cream them together until smooth and well blended, creating a luscious base for your cookies.
-
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat it in until fully incorporated, infusing the dough with a delightful aroma and flavor.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough forms.
-
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Embrace the delightful crunch they will bring to each bite!
-
Shape the dough into tablespoonsfuls, forming them into 2-inch logs. Place the logs 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet, allowing ample space for them to expand as they bake.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until they are lightly browned, exuding irresistible aromas that will fill your kitchen with warmth and anticipation.
-
While the cookies are still warm, carefully roll them in confectioners’ sugar, coating them generously for a touch of sweetness and a charming snowy appearance.
-
Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely, allowing them to firm up while maintaining their delicate texture.
-
For an extra touch of decadence, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies, adding a luxurious finishing touch that will delight your taste buds and impress your guests.
Enjoy! These Cream Cheese Finger Cookies are ready to be savored and shared with loved ones, bringing joy and sweetness to every festive celebration or everyday indulgence. 🎄🍪
