Time 1h55m

Yield 24 tassies

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus 1 tablespoon butter, melted
One 3-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large egg
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of fine salt
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped

Steps:

With an electric mixer, beat the 1/2 cup butter and the cream cheese until smooth. Add the flour and beat until fully combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth. Set aside.
Shape the chilled dough into 24 balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press each ball into a cup of the muffin pan, spreading evenly and up the sides, then spoon 1 teaspoon of the pecans into each muffin cup. Fill each cup with the egg mixture until evenly distributed, about 1 teaspoon in each. Bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, and then remove from the muffin pan.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies come together more easily and evenly.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Use a mini muffin tin to make the cookies. This will help them cook evenly.
Fill the cookie cups with the pecan filling before baking. This will help the filling set.
Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and firm up.

Pecan tassies are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these delightful cookies that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pecan tassies a try!
