These cream cheese finger cookies are one of my mom's specialties. Because of the butter and cream cheese, they're very rich. Plus, the pecans add wonderful flavor. They're great with a hot cup of coffee or a tall glass of milk. —Jeanne Voss, Anaheim Hills, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Dash salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, sugar and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in pecans (dough will be crumbly).
