Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 package (8 ounces) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese (softened or cubed), softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle.
Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion into an 18-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Cut widthwise into six 3-in. sections; cut each section into 3-in. x 1-in. strips. Roll each strip around a pecan half; place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat.
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Roll in confectioners' sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze for up to 3 months. Yield: 8 dozen.
