Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Steps:

  • Dough:.
  • Beat butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt in large bowl until blended. Stir in flour (dough will be soft and sticky).
  • Scrape dough onto sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic as aid, shape dough into disk. Cover and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Roll dough into 24 1-inch balls; place 1 dough ball in each of 24 mini muffin cups. Chill 15-20 minutes.
  • Using floured fingertips, press dough over bottom and up sides of each muffin cup, forming a shell. Chill until ready to use, up to 1 day.
  • Filling:.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Whisk first 5 filling ingredients in medium bowl until blended.
  • Stir in almonds and chocolate morsels. Spoon filling into shells.
  • Bake until crusts are golden brown and filling is set, 23-25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Using small sharp knife, cut around each cookie to loosen, then turn onto rack and cool completely.
