Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and pecans.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 3500 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing.
