Everyone in my family loves this cookie. They're like little pecan pies and you can make them with pecans instead of walnuts if you choose. You will need a mini muffin pan for this recipe.

Ingredients

1 package cream cheese , 3 ounce
0.5 cups butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brown sugar
0.75 cups chopped walnuts

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line mini muffin pans with paper liners.
2

In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, and flour until a dough forms. Roll into 1-inch balls and press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin cups.
3

In a small bowl, blend together egg, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in walnuts. Spoon mixture into the muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until crusts are golden.
