Instructions
Crust
  1. Mix the cream cheese and the butter.
  2. Add 1 cup flour and knead the dough by hand or mix it until it is smooth.
  3. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it chill for one hour so that it is easier to work with.

  2. Form 2 dozen 1-inch balls of dough (roughly ⅜-ounce each).
  3. Press each dough ball into a greased mini muffin tin, making a shallow indentation but being careful not to poke through to the pan.
