Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
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 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine 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 until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over muffins.
