  • powdered sugar, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix butter, cream cheese and flour together until just combined. Roll the dough into small balls - about 1" in diameter and press each dough ball evenly into a small cup muffin tin, making sure dough comes up the sides of the muffin cup.
