Pecan Tassies image

My Aunt started the tradition of us all getting together to make these yummy treats every year, around the holidays. We all pitch in on the cost and make a ton of them. They freeze well, to use later for your cookie trays. Enjoy!

I had some trouble getting the pastry to roll out properly, but the pecan tassies still turned out great.

These pecan tassies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of pecans, but these pecan tassies were surprisingly good. The filling was sweet and gooey, and the pastry was flaky and buttery.
