  • 1 Cup salted butter softened
  • 6 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 Cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extra
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 Cup pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚ F.

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, flour, and pecans.  Add to the wet ingredients until well incorporated.
