Filling

  • 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
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.
