We have seen these with pecans, but for some reason the walnuts really change the flavor to a more rich and deeper flavor to me. I use those cute little pastry tins (miniature cupcakes) to put these in (24 to a sheet I believe). I include these in my Christmas bundles each and every year.
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese (room tempurature)
1 cup butter (room tempurature)
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
4 eggs
3 cups brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 dash salt
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. Pastry:.
3. Cream together cream cheese and butter.
4. Blend in flour.
5. Shape into small balls. In miniature cupcake pan press dough on bottom and sides.
6. Filling:.
7. Beat togehter eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until smooth.
8. Take 3/4 Cup of nuts and divide into pastry lined cups.
9. Add egg mixture on top of nuts in pastry shells.
10. Top each with the remaining 3/4 Cup of nuts.
11. Bake 25-30 Minutes.
