Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, beat 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 3 ounces of cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Shape the dough into 24 small balls and press them evenly into the bottoms and up the sides of a mini muffin tin to form the crusts.
In another medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter until well combined.
Stir in 3/4 cup of finely chopped pecans.
Spoon the pecan mixture evenly into each prepared crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the tassies for 20–25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crusts are lightly golden.
Remove the tassies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
