These Nut Cup Cookies are absolutely delicious! They’re crispy on the outside, with a gooey, sweet inside. We normally make them over Christmas, but I’m pretty sure they will taste just as amazing year round!

To make the dough, you’ll need:

1/2 pound butter

1/2 pound cream cheese

2.5 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

dash of salt

To make the filling, you’ll need:

1 pound diced walnuts

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract

1/2 stick butter, melted

Begin by combining the dough ingredients into a large bowl.

Then beat the mixture together.

Don’t let the flour go everywhere like I did!

When you’re done beating, it should look like this:

Then gather the dough together into a ball.

And wrap it up to store in the fridge overnight.

To make the filling, begin by beating the eggs.

They should be beaten well, like this:

Now combine the filling ingredients into a bowl.

And use the beater again to mix it.

The result should be something like this:

After the dough has been refrigerated overnight, pat it into tiny balls and then use your fingers to press along the sides of a tiny muffin pan.

Then spoon in the mixture so that the cups are a little less than full.

Next, bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until the cookies look like this:

I recommend serving them warm, so that the inside is hot and gooey.

Yum!

I wish I had some right about now!
