Recipe Introduction


We all love the wonderful texture of these cookies. The diced pears rolled up inside are an extra treat.

1 Cup Butter, Softened (No Substitutes)
8 Ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Walnuts
3/4 Cup Confectioners' Sugar
