Mexican Wedding Cookies

I don't have pics of this one... but they're delicious and easy to make!

Mexican Wedding Cookies
adapted from Kraft Foods

1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup finely chopped nuts (I love pecans!)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat cream cheese, sugar, butter, and vanilla until well blended. Add in flour and baking soda. Incorporate nuts and cinnamon. Shape into balls or crescent shapes and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute prior to removal. Cool for 15 minutes on cooling rack; dunk each cookie in powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
