Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Egg
- 0.75 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of softened butter, and cream cheese. Mix until a soft and pliable dough forms.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.
Press each dough ball evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the mini muffin tin cups, forming small crusts.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, melted butter, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling into each prepared dough cup, filling them just below the rim.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tassies are golden and the filling is set.
Remove the tassies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
