Old son we about to get started on some cookies. I'm posting this today because one of my new friends, Miss C, has been fucking attacked by every upper respiratory bastard it is possible to get infected with. No lie, son. Can't make her the cookies as she's across the damn country and I'm broke-ass, so at least I can give her the recipe.
Crust
¼ lb. butter or margarine
3 oz. cream cheese
1 cup flour
Soften butter and cream cheese by leaving in mixing bowl, on the counter (covered) for a few hours. Do not be an impatient little bastard and try to microwave them--just go pop in a damn movie, and use that microwave the way God intended--for popcorn.
Add flour to the softened cream cheese and butter, and blend thoroughly, either with two butter knives or a pastry blender. Form into little walnut-sized balls, and line the cups of a mini-muffin pan with dough. Try not to handle the dough too much, and try also not to flour it too much—both of these things make the dough less tasty. Set aside lined pans. You might want to clip your nails as short as possible or pull on some latex gloves. Also, flouring your hands is damn useful but use it sparingly or you'll end up with some chewy nastiness that tastes like dustbunnies.
Filling
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tbls. Melted butter (you can use the microwave for this)
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup chopped pecans
Over low heat in a small saucepan, add everything but pecans, saving the egg and vanilla for last--you do not want the egg to go first, because scrambled eggs in your cookies is gnarly. Stir until everything is blended, then add the pecans. Spoon this mixture into the pastry cups, and leave just a little bit of crust peeking out when you fill them.
Bake at 375° Fahrenheit for 15-17 minutes, THEN lower the heat to 250° and bake for 20 minutes.
Makes 24.
You might want to make more than one batch because these will disappear like the evidence proving Creationism. Fact.
Oh, and if you end up with more shells than filling, just dig in your fridge for some jam and fill them with that. You can give those to people you don't like.
EDIT 'But I don't have NUTS!' YOU KNOW WHAT. RAISINS IS WHAT. I SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE TO SAY THIS.
