Cinnamon Chip Gems

Ingredients


1 cup butter

2 (3 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened

2 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour

1/2 cup sugar

BEAT butter and cream cheese in large bowl until well blended; stir in flour, sugar and almonds. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour.

PLACE 7 cinnamon chips in bottom of each muffin cup; fill generous 3/4 full with egg mixture.

BAKE 18 to 20 minutes or until tops are puffed and just beginning to turn golden brown. Cool 3 minutes. Sprinkle about 10 chips on top filling. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Remove from pan using small metal spatula or sharp knife. Cool completely.
