Time 45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound sweet butter
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat sweet butter and cream cheese together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually stir flour into butter until forming a dough. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place into 3/4-inch muffin cups. Press dough into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup.
  • Mix brown sugar, walnuts, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of walnut filling into the dough cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are lightly browned and filling is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
