Ingredients
Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 ounces original cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅔ cup pecans finely chopped
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter and 3 ounces of original cream cheese until creamy and smooth.
- Scrape down the sides, then slowly add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides again and cover the bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop to form (24) 1-inch dough balls. Next, place each dough ball into the prepared mini muffin cups and press evenly into the bottom and sides of the muffin cups to form a cup.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to mix 1 large egg, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt until combined.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans and set aside. Fold in the remaining ⅔ cup of finely chopped pecans.
- Fill each muffin cup with 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling. Next, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of reserved pecans over the top of the tassies.
- In the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, place on a cooling rack, and allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes.

- Refrigeration: If you want them to last a bit longer, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.
- Freezer: If you choose to make them ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the freezer up to 3 months. Be sure to add parchment or wax paper in between stacks of pecan tassies so that they don’t stick together. Thaw in the container at room temperature when ready to use.
