Posted by Bev


List of Ingredients

1 package piecrust mix (for 2-crust pie)
1 c-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/3 cup apricot, grape or raspberry preserves
32 pecan halves
Powdered sugar


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350º
In a medium bowl combine piecrust mix, cream cheese, sugar, milk and lemon extract. Stir with a fork till mixture forms a ball. Divide the dough in half.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 10-inch square. With a pastry wheel or knife, cut each large square into sixteen 2 1/2 inch squares. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon preserves in the center of each square. Place a pecan half on top of preserves on each. Moisten two opposite corners with water; pring corners up over filling. Pinch corners tightly together to seal.

Arrange filled squares on a cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or till golden. Transfer immediately to a rack to cool. Sift powdered sugar over tops.
