Pecan Tassies
Report
Pecan Tassies are tart-like cookies featuring the flavors and textures of pecan pie. Delicious, tender, buttery crust, crunchy pecans, and brown-sugar filling, all in one bite.

Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar packed
- 2 cups Chopped Pecans
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl attached to an electric mixer, combine butter and cream cheese. Add flour and powdered sugar and blend until a soft dough forms.
- Using a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough into muffin cups. Use a tart shaper to press the dough into the pan.
- Next, make the pecan pie filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chopped pecans, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of filling into each nut cup.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned, remove from oven. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then remove to wire rack. Cool completely and dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor and texture, toast pecans prior to making the filling!
- Do not overmix the cookie dough!
- I use a small cookie scoop to add the filling into the cookie cup.
- Store: Keep pecan tassies in a airtight container for up to one week at room temperature, or up to two week in refrigerator.
