ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour
1 egg
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash salt
1/3 cup finely chopped cranberries

directions
For pastry: In a mixing bowl beat the butter and cream cheese until combined. Stir in the flour. If desired, chill in refrigerator for 1 hour. Shape the dough into 24 balls; place in ungreased 1 3/4" muffin pans. Press dough evenly against bottom and up sides of each muffin cup.
For the filling: In a mixing bowl beat together the egg, brown sugar, vanilla and salt just until smooth. Stir in the cranberries and pecans. Spoon filling into the pastry-lined muffin cups.
Bake in a 325 degrees F oven for 30-35 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool in pans on wire racks. Remove from pans by running a knife around the edges.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
