Pecan Tassies

If you've been a frequent visitor, you're probably thinking "whatever happened to the recipes??", aren't you?

Well, you're in luck...finally! I made pecan tassies the other day. Yum, yum. And I know you want some!

Pecan Tassies

1/2 C butter
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 C flour
3/4 C packed brown sugar
1 large egg
pinch of salt
1 T melted butter
1 t vanilla
3/4 to 1 C chopped pecans

Cream the butter and cream cheese and work in the flour until well-blended. Chill at least 1 hour.

Press small portions of the dough into miniature muffin pans to form shells. You should get 18-24 shells depending on the actual size of your pans.

Beat the brown sugar and egg together and blend in all of the remaining ingredients. Divide to fill each pastry shell 3/4 full. Optional: topping each with a pecan half.
pre-baking

Bake at 325F for 25 minutes.

I doubled the recipe and filled up 24 of the small tins and 12 regular sized tins. The mini ones are super cute; try them!

I rarely leave remarks, but i did some searching and wound up here
"Pecan Tassies". And I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look like some of these comments look as if they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you list of every one of all your communal sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
