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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and cream cheese until smooth and well-blended.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place each ball into a mini muffin tin and press the dough evenly against the bottom and sides to form a shell. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 6

Stir in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling mixture.

Step 7

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into each prepared pastry shell, filling them just below the rim.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the pecan tassies at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
