Cream Cheese Cranberry Muffins

1 cup butter, softened

            1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

            1-1/2 cups sugar

            4 eggs

            1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

            2 cups all-purpose flour

            1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

            1/2 teaspoon salt

            2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

            1/2 cup chopped pecans

           

DRIZZLE:

            2 cups confectioners' sugar

            3 T milk

·  In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and pecans.

·  Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over muffins.

Yield: 2 dozen.
