Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature, divided
- 4 oz. cream cheese room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ¾ cup Chopped Pecans divided
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix together in a medium bowl, 7 tablespoons of butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour and mix until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan.
- Divide dough into 24 pieces, a little less than a tablespoon each. Roll into a ball and place into muffin tin. Press dough evenly to cover the bottom and sides forming a cup.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, egg, 1 tablespoon melted butter, vanilla, and salt.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of pecans and stir in remaining pecans into sugar egg mixture.
- Spoon a teaspoon of pecan mix into each muffin cup. Sprinkle with reserved pecans.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the pastry starts to turn golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan to the cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Dough can be made and refrigerated up to 3 days before use.
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 7 days or 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
- Be sure to press the dough close to the top of the muffin tin or there won’t be enough dough to hold the filling.
- A tart tamper was used for this recipe, but a round handle of a wooden spoon will work, or just your fingers.
