Prep time30 minutes

Ingredients

1⁄2Cupmargarine (room temperature)
1Cupall-purpose flour
1Packagecream cheese ((3 oz.) room temperature)

Instructions

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the margarine and cream cheese thoroughly. Beat in the flour until well blended. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate overnight. Next day, bring back to room temperature. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter the cups of a 24-cup miniature muffin tin. Divide the dough into 24 balls and press each ball into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Notes

Recipe Note: I often double the recipe and put 24-36 in the freezer for future use. These pretty and tasty shells can be stuffed with salmon, chicken salad, quiche, lemon pie filling, lemon curd, blueberry/cherry pie filling, or pecan pie filling. Use your imagination!

If your children need a quiet activity for Friday evening or the Sabbath have them make some special Sabbath notes for friends or cards for sick people.
