Pecan Tassies

Pecan Tassies are delightful bite-sized treats that are perfect for any occasion. Here's a classic recipe :

Ingredients:

For the Pastry:

•  1 cup butter, softened

•  6 oz cream cheese, softened

•  2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

• 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar

•  2 tablespoons melted butter

•  2 large eggs

•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

•  1 ½ cups chopped pecans

Instructions:

1.  Prepare the Pastry:

•     In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.

•    Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

•    Divide the dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball into the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin tin to form a cup shape.

2. Make the Filling:

•    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

•  In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.

•    Stir in the chopped pecans.

3.  Assemble and Bake:

•    Fill each pastry cup with about a teaspoon of the pecan filling mixture.

•    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is       lightly browned.

•    Allow the tassies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to        cool completely.
