Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 85 grams Cream cheese
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 90 grams Pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and cream cheese until smooth and well-blended.
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into 24 equal portions and shape them into small balls.
Place each ball into a mini muffin tin and press the dough evenly against the bottom and sides to form a shell. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Stir in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling mixture.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into each prepared pastry shell, filling them just below the rim.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Remove the tassies from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the pecan tassies at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
