This is one of my favorite Christmas cookie tray recipes. I got this recipe from Goodhousekeeping Magazine many years ago.

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup butter until creamy.
  • Reduce speed to low, add flour and granulated sugar and beat until well mixed.
  • Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • In medium bowl mix brown sugar, vanilla, salt, egg, pecans and remaining 1 tablespoon or butter until filling is blended.
  • With floured hands, divide dough into 24 equal pieces (dough will be very soft).
  • With floured fingertips, gently press dough pieces evenly onto bottoms and up sides of twenty-four 1 3/4" by 3/4 to 1" ungreased miniature muffin-pan cups.
  • I make hundreds of these cookies every Christmas so I use a wooden tart tamper to form the shells.
  • Spoon a heaping pecan filling into each cup.
  • Bake 30 minutes or until filling is set and edges of crust are golden.
  • With tip of knife, gently loosen tassies from muffin-pan cups and place on wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store tassies in tightly covered container up to 1 week.
