Tassies Preparation
Work softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl until blended. Stir in flour. Wrap dough in wax paper and chill thoroughly. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Working with a small portion of dough, shape heaping teaspoonfuls of the dough into 1-inch balls. Keep rest of dough refrigerated. As balls are shaped drop them into the cups of ungreased 1-3/4 inch muffin tins. Press dough to cover evenly the bottom and sides of each muffin cup. Sprinkle about 1 heaping teaspoonful of nuts over bottom of each cup. Beat eggs in a bowl; gradually add sugar and melted butter. Blend in salt and vanilla and beat until light and frothy. Spoon 1 tablespoon egg mixture on top of nuts in each cup. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 250 degrees and bake 10 minutes longer. Cool cookies in muffin tins and remove carefully. Repeat with remaining dough, nuts and filling. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
