These Cream Cheese Pecan Cookies have a rich and nutty flavor and are a delightful treat. The cream cheese gives the cookies a wonderful softness, while the chopped pecans add a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 8 oz cream cheese, softened. 2 cups granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 4 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup chopped pecans.

Instructions: Place the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Mix them together until they are light and fluffy. After adding the vanilla extract, beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a different bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined. Add the chopped pecans and mix them in. Make a log out of each half of the cookie dough.
