Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons orange juice
1/4 cup flaked coconut
Citrus peel cutouts, if desired

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup sugar, the milk, vanilla and salt with spoon. Stir in 1 1/3 cups flour.
Divide dough into 24 equal pieces. Press each piece in bottom and up side of small muffin cup, 1 3/4x1 inch, ungreased or lined with paper baking cups.
In medium bowl, mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, the egg yolk, orange peel and orange juice. Spoon slightly less than 1 tablespoon mixture into each cup. Sprinkle with coconut.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry is light brown around edges and filling is set. Cool slightly; loosen from cups with tip of knife. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Top with citrus peel just before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.
