Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened |
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add flour to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Shape dough into 72 (3/4-inch) balls, and place on a baking sheet; cover and chill 1 hour.
2. Place dough balls in cups of lightly greased miniature muffin pans; press dough to top of cups, forming shells.
3. Bake at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely (about 15 minutes).
4. Test Kitchen Tip: Baked pastry shells may be made up to 1 month ahead and frozen in an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature before filling.
