I learned this recipe from a childhood friend whose mother made these for family parties and get-togethers. They are a great Christmas or special occasion cookie. My Mother makes hers with walnuts, I prefer pecans for a mini pecan pie taste.

Time 30m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese
½ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
1 ½ cups brown sugar
½ cup honey

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in the flour and mix thoroughly. The dough should be somewhat firm. Roll into 36 small balls, place them on a plate and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Make the filling in a medium bowl. Beat the eggs, melted butter, vanilla and brown sugar until smooth and well blended. Stir in the nuts. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press the chilled dough balls into the bottom and up the sides of tart pans or mini muffin cups. Fill each shell with filling almost to the top. Use a squeeze top honey container if you have one, to drip about 1/2 teaspoon of honey onto the top of each cup.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crust is lightly browned. Allow to cool in the tins completely before removing.

Several years ago, I revised my grandmothers recipes and added more of my own and my families and put them into a cookbook for safe keeping. This is just one of the many dessert recipes that has been handed down. I hope you enjoy them.

Tips:

  • Prep work is essential. Use a light hand when measuring flour, and be sure to evenly mix together the wet and dry ingredients. Over-mixing can result in a tough dough.
  • Use the right baking cups. Nut cups are traditionally made with paper baking cups, but you can also use muffin tins or even a mini donut pan.
  • Don't overfill the baking cups. Fill the baking cups about 2/3 full to allow for expansion during baking.
  • Bake the nut cups until they are golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a nut cup. If the toothpick comes out clean, the nut cups are done.
  • Let the nut cups cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from seeping through the bottom of the nut cups.
  • Get creative with your fillings. Nut cups can be filled with anything from chocolate ganache to whipped cream to fresh fruit. Be sure to choose a filling that will complement the flavor of the nut cups.

Conclusion:

Nut cups are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit any taste. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a special dessert for a party, nut cups are a great option.
