Pecan Pie Tassies
Pecan Pie Tassies are miniature tartlets featuring a tender, buttery cream cheese crust filled with spiced pecan pie filling. The dough is chilled before shaping into mini muffin tins where the sweet, cinnamon-infused filling bakes to a rich, gooey texture. These bite-sized treats are ideal for individual servings.

Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter softened and divided, unsalted
- 4 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 cup flour
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar , packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and grease your mini muffin tins well.
- To the stand mixer add the remaining butter, egg, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and pecans and mix on low speed until combined.
- Divide the dough into 24 pieces and press into your muffin tins using a handle of a wooden spoon or similarly shaped tool wrapped in saran wrap to shape a well inside the dough in each muffin tin cavity, then fill with 1 teaspoon of pecan filling and bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Cool for 15 minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tins, running a knife around them if needed to loosen them first.

Notes
- Press dough evenly into mini muffin tins for uniform tart shells.
- Use finely chopped pecans for a smoother filling texture in the tassies.
- Allow the tassies to cool 15 minutes before removing to prevent breakage.
- You can use the timer feature during baking to avoid overbaking the delicate crusts.
