Cook Time: 30 minutes
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 24 mini tassies
Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese

- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Crust: Start by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the flour, mixing until a dough forms. |
| 2 | Once the dough is well combined, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and shape. |
| 3 | After the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Grease or line mini muffin pans, ensuring not to use dark coated pans. |
| 4 | Shaping the Crust: Divide the chilled dough into 24 equal-sized balls. Press each ball of dough into the bottom and up the sides of the mini muffin cups, forming a small crust in each. |
| 5 | Filling: In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by combining the egg, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Mix until well combined. |
| 6 | Assembly: Fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full with the prepared pecan filling, distributing it evenly among the tassies. |
| 7 | Bake: Place the filled muffin pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tassies are set and the crust is lightly browned. |
| 8 | Cooling: Once baked, remove the tassies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes. This will help them set further before removing them from the pans. |
| 9 | Serve: After cooling slightly, carefully remove the Pecan Tassies from the muffin pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious treats with your loved ones! |
