13; chewy cheesecake cookies.

• 1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
• 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 c. AP flour
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

cream together butter & cream cheese, add in vanilla & sugar, then flour, then pecans.

roll into 1" balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart, & press gently with the bottom of a wet glass to flatten cookie balls slightly. bake at 375*F for 11-14 minutes. let cool on sheets enough so they won't break when you remove them with a spatula.

these were amazing! -- the perfect mix between cookies & a cheesecake.
